Overview of Fredonia Place

Fredonia Place is an 84-bed Enriched Housing Program at 50 Howard Street in Fredonia, Chautauqua County, New York, located at the city center. The facility is owned by Water/Howard Associates, LLC and holds three active certifications: Base ALR, Special Needs ALR (SNARL), and Enhanced ALR (EALR).

The facility specializes in active assisted living with memory and dementia care. Programs include Assisted Living, Memory Care, Enhanced Care Services, and Respite. Services provided are Rehabilitation Services, Respite Care, Enhanced Care Services, Nursing Services, and Licensed Nurses/CNAs. Pets are not allowed.

Regulatory history shows a significant operational challenge in September 2024. Two clean complaint investigations in 2021 were followed by a single personnel deficiency in June 2024, then a renewal survey in September 2024 that cited five deficiencies spanning disaster and emergency procedures (488.12(l)), admission and retention standards (1001.7(h)(1)), medication management (1001.10(l)(1)), and structural and environmental standards (1001.13(b)(1)(i-iii)(2)(3)(4)(iv-vi) and 1001.13(b)(5)(b)(6)(1-12)). A complaint investigation on the same date found no violations.

The June 2025 complaint investigation found zero deficiencies, indicating remediation of the September 2024 findings. Over 3.5 years, the facility averaged 2 deficiencies per year, 61 percent better than New York’s average. Six complaints are on record (7.1 per 100 occupied beds versus state average 49.9). No enforcement actions have been taken.

The September 2024 deficiency pattern shows problems across five critical areas simultaneously, suggesting systemic rather than isolated issues. The rapid remediation within months and subsequent clean inspection provide evidence of corrective action, but the breadth of the original violations warrants direct verification during tours of current procedures and facility condition.

Verify that corrective actions from the September 2024 deficiencies across emergency procedures, admission standards, medication management, and facility conditions remain implemented and sustained.

Inspection History

In New York, the Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care performs unannounced onsite inspections to monitor compliance with state and federal healthcare regulations.

Inspection Score Info A composite 0–100 score combining this facility's inspections, citations, complaints, and enforcement actions relative to the New York state average. We don't score profiles with fewer than 3 inspections on record because a small inspection history reads as "below average" on every count-based metric — that would over-reward a facility just for being new.

Limited inspection history. Not enough information to score against the New York benchmark.
