License and inspection record

Is Fredonia Place of Williamsville licensed by New York State?

On top of that base license it holds Assisted Living Residence licensure for 108 beds, 25 of them Enhanced (EALR), and 24 Special Needs (SNALR) dementia beds. Those certifications are what make it “assisted living” in New York's legal sense, not just in its marketing.

2 of those visits were routine relicensure surveys and 22 were complaint investigations. A complaint survey does not mean a complaint was upheld — many close with no citation.

What does assisted living at Fredonia Place of Williamsville cost?

No state record publishes this community's prices, so we do not either. The CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey puts New York's statewide median for a private one-bedroom in assisted living at $7,110 a month; no Buffalo-specific figure is published.

What moves the bill at a specific community is the care level: EALR and SNALR care usually cost more than base assisted living, and this community holds both. Ask for the full fee schedule in writing, including level-of-care charges and what triggers an increase. New York requires a written residency agreement before admission. Our cost guide walks through the numbers, and the CareScout survey is the source.

In the 2026 Q2 quarterly report the community counted 88 residents at quarter's end against 108 certified beds (about 81% full). A community near capacity may have a wait list for SNALR or ALP beds even when other rooms are open, so ask.

Licensed only about 5 years ago, this is one of the newer buildings in the two counties, so its inspection history is short; weigh the most recent surveys more heavily.
