Camphill Ghent, Inc. is a 31-bed nonprofit Adult Home administrated by Onat Sanchez-Schwartz at 2542 Route 66 in Chatham, New York, in Columbia County. Licensed by the New York State Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care, the facility operates as an assisted living and independent living community and holds affiliate membership in the worldwide Camphill Movement, an international network of communities grounded in Anthroposophical principles.
Three inspections have been conducted by the New York State Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care. The most recent, a Renewal survey on June 24, 2025, cited 6 deficiencies across food service, personnel, and environmental standards, with a plan of correction approved. Earlier inspection cycles also flagged environmental standards, with one prior renewal noting a single environmental deficiency. One complaint has been filed; no substantiated issues were identified. No fines or enforcement actions appear in the public record. Environmental standards represent the persistent theme across the inspection record without escalation.
The facility provides 27 confirmed amenities including private outdoor patios, resident-controlled heating and air conditioning, all utilities inclusive (gas, electric, water, trash, recycling, and composting), wired telephone, cable and internet, routine unit maintenance and snow removal, weekly shopping trips, grounds maintenance and landscaping, outdoor dining spaces, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and a community garden for resident food cultivation. Volunteer opportunities are available. Group programming includes HANDLE, choir, book club, meditation group, and poetry. Concerts by world-renowned musicians are part of the cultural calendar. Three daily meals are prepared with organic ingredients.
Columbia Memorial Hospital in Hudson is approximately 14 miles from the facility. The Anthroposophical care orientation, organic dining model, agricultural programming, and Camphill Movement affiliation structure the community around intentional living grounded in Rudolf Steiner’s philosophy of caring for body, soul, and spirit.
Camphill Ghent, Inc. is suited for elders seeking an intentional community model with strong arts, agricultural, and spiritual dimensions. Families should ask about the Anthroposophical framework’s specific implementation in daily care, the qualifications of staff in this model, and how the plan of correction addresses the cited deficiencies in food service and environmental standards before placement.
