Overview of The Farrar Home
The Farrar Home is a small adult home on Constable Street in Malone, a Franklin County city in northern New York near the Canadian border. With 30 beds, it sits at the smaller end of the state’s adult home landscape. The neighborhood is very walkable (Walk Score 72), which is a meaningful feature for a community this size in a small upstate city.
Rehabilitation services are available on-site. The community also offers a wellness program, though the specifics of that program are not described on the profile. This is a residential care setting, not a medically intensive one, and families evaluating it should ask directly about staffing levels, daily structure, and the scope of personal care offered.
New York’s Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care oversees inspection for adult homes statewide. At The Farrar Home, inspection activity has touched on dietary and food service as a compliance area.
At 30 beds, The Farrar Home is a notably small community. That scale can mean a quieter, more residential feel than larger facilities offer. For older adults in Franklin County who want a compact, low-intensity assisted living setting with rehabilitation access, it is worth considering.
