Overview of Horizons

Horizons is a 76-bed adult home located at 3132 State Route 21 South, Canandaigua, Ontario County, New York, operated by DePaul Adult Care Communities, Inc. The facility maintains active New York State licensing and does not allow pets.

The facility’s inspection history with the New York State Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care demonstrates mixed but generally favorable performance. Since 2021, Horizons has received 10 regulatory inspections, averaging 2.2 deficiencies per year, which is 57 percent better than New York’s state average of 5.1 deficiencies per year. The facility has reported 9 complaints, equivalent to 11.8 complaints per 100 occupied beds, significantly better than New York’s state average of 49.9. No enforcement actions are on record, and no active lawsuits are currently pending.

Medication management has emerged as a recurring concern. An August 2024 renewal inspection identified 8 deficiencies covering medication management, resident services, food service, environmental standards, disaster planning, and admission standards. Subsequent complaint investigations in October 2024 and June 2024 resulted in clean reports. A January 2025 complaint investigation identified one deficiency related to admission standards with plan of correction approved.

The most recent complaint investigation on March 20, 2025, identified one deficiency related to medication management with plan of correction approved. Medication management violations and admission standards violations appeared in multiple recent inspections, suggesting these areas require continued attention.

The facility’s compliance pattern shows improvement, with clean complaint investigation reports in 2023 and 2024 interspersed with targeted findings. Most deficiencies identified carry approved plans of correction. The facility’s complaint rate significantly outperforms state averages, indicating residents or families file fewer formal complaints than peer facilities.

Services include medication management, diabetes monitoring, dementia and Alzheimer’s care with wandering-prevention technology, on-site speech therapy, on-site podiatry, incontinence reminders, and transfer assistance ranging from standby to one-person support. Respite and short-term stays are available. Amenities include a barber and beauty salon, an outdoor garden with raised beds for resident gardening, and an on-site convenience market. Activities include arts and crafts, daily exercise, education programs, off-site field trips, live entertainers, shopping trips, faith activities, and picnics.

Families should request detailed explanation of recurring medication management deficiencies, current protocols, and verification procedures. Verify implementation of approved corrective action plans.
