Horizons holds New York State’s Assisted Living Program designation, qualifying it to serve residents who are medically eligible for nursing home placement but don’t require continual nursing care. The 76-bed community is at 3132 State Route 21 South in Canandaigua, Ontario County, operated by DePaul Adult Care Communities, Inc. The neighborhood earns a Walk Score of 85, consistent with a Canandaigua location where most essentials are reachable on foot.
The ALP designation supports a services list that goes beyond what standard assisted living typically offers. Nursing and rehabilitation services are provided, alongside medication management, diabetes monitoring, on-site speech therapy, and on-site podiatry. Dementia and Alzheimer’s care is available with wandering-prevention technology in place. Personal care assistance, transfer support, and respite and short-term stays complete the clinical picture.
On-site amenities include an outdoor garden with raised gardening beds, a barber and beauty salon, and a convenience market on-site. Activities run from arts and crafts and daily exercise to off-site field trips, live entertainment, shopping excursions, faith activities, and picnics. An education program and volunteer program add further structure to the weekly calendar.
Inspections are overseen by New York’s Department of Health and Office of Aging and Long Term Care. State review has historically focused on medication management and dietary and food service.
Horizons serves older adults in Canandaigua and Ontario County who need assisted living with the clinical depth that the ALP designation enables. Specialty services like speech therapy and podiatry, dementia care with wandering-prevention technology, and an on-site convenience market reflect a facility designed around residents with real and varied medical needs.
