The Hearth Achieves Highest Licensure Status at Castle Gardens Keepsake Village

Castle Gardens Keepsake Village, a Hearth campus, has achieved two incredible milestones: achieving both deficiency-free surveys and now the highest recognized care certification in assisted living for the state of New York. Now open to the public, this campus brings 30 years of experience to a now wider group of seniors to provide the most premier and outstanding services in the area.

Castle Gardens Keepsake Village, in partnership with the state of New York Department of Health (two years violation-free survey results), is now the area's newest provider of Special Needs and Enhanced Assisted Living Residence (EALR) Services.

The Special Needs and Enhanced Assisted Living Residence license requires a rigorous and lengthy application and evaluation process. Successful completion of the process broadens the scope of services by more than 50%. This increased service offering provides the highest level of care possible within an Assisted Living Residence - senior living campus in the state of New York. Now with this new Special Needs and Enhanced Assisted Residence Licensure status, Castle Gardens Keepsake Village is able to serve more individuals with complex needs. This effort continues to fulfill our mission of “supporting you through life’s journey,” for existing and future seniors to come. 

We have worked on this process for over 10 years, and today marks a new rebirth for Castle Gardens Keepsake Village to continue to serve more seniors than ever before with care, compassion, and excellence. The team at Castle Gardens Keepsake Village is truly the gold standard for excellence. With over 100 years of healthcare experience amongst the team, we are very proud, very prepared, and excited to serve the region as the best provider of care.
