Is Ashton Place in Clifton Springs licensed by the state?
Ashton Place holds 1 NYSDOH operating certificate (530-S-005) for 60 beds in total, smaller than the 77-bed median for the 46 licensed adult care facility buildings in the five-county Rochester area.
| License | Operating certificate | Certified capacity | ALR certifications (beds) | Opened | Residents, end of 2026 Q2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enriched Housing Program | 530-S-005 | 60 | none | November 28, 2005 | 21 |
At the end of 2026 Q2 the facility reported 21 residents against 60 certified beds, about 35% full. The operator of record is Clifton Park Associates, LLC (llc). The first license at this address dates to 2005.
What can Ashton Place not provide under its license?
Not in the state's legal sense: Ashton Place holds a base adult care facility license with no ALR, EALR, SNALR or Assisted Living Program certification in the department's capacity report, so it can provide room, board, supervision and personal care but cannot keep residents who need nursing-home-level care.
Many families use the phrase assisted living for any residence like this, and that is fine in conversation. The legal difference shows up later: if a resident's needs grow past the adult home or enriched housing retention standards, a move is required. Ask the administrator what happens when a resident starts needing help transferring.
