NYSDOH-licensed Enriched Housing Program in Lancaster, Erie County — 57 certified beds, certificate 240-S-105.

License and inspection record

Is Greenfield Court licensed by New York State?

Yes. Greenfield Court holds New York State Department of Health operating certificate 240-S-105 as an Enriched Housing Program in Lancaster, with 57 certified beds in the 2026 Q2 state report, and has been licensed since October 12, 2001 (about 25 years).

On top of that base license it holds Assisted Living Residence licensure for 57 beds. Those certifications are what make it “assisted living” in New York's legal sense, not just in its marketing.

What does Greenfield Court's NYSDOH inspection record show?

Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2026, NYSDOH inspected Greenfield Court 9 times and cited 10 violations; 7 inspections found none. The most recent report on file is a complaint survey issued May 8, 2026.

2 of those visits were routine relicensure surveys and 7 were complaint investigations. A complaint survey does not mean a complaint was upheld — many close with no citation.

The regulation areas cited most often were admission and retention standards, environmental standards, resident services. What matters is whether the same areas repeat survey after survey, and whether the plan of correction was approved.

1 earlier reports are on the state record linked in the table above.

Enforcement: none reported for Greenfield Court in this period.

Does Greenfield Court offer memory care (SNALR) in Lancaster?

Not under New York's dementia certification: the 2026 Q2 NYSDOH report shows no Special Needs (SNALR) beds at Greenfield Court.

Residents with mild memory loss may still live there, but a community without SNALR certification cannot run a secured dementia unit as SNALR care. If memory care is the goal, compare the communities in our memory care directory.

Can a resident age in place at Greenfield Court?

Only within standard assisted living limits: Greenfield Court shows no Enhanced (EALR) beds, so a resident who comes to need nursing-level help may have to move.

Medicaid: the state report shows no ALP beds here, so Greenfield Court is private pay. Families who expect to need Medicaid should read how Medicaid and assisted living fit together in New York before moving in.

Where is Greenfield Court, and what is nearby in Lancaster?

Greenfield Court is at 5951 Broadway St in Lancaster, Erie County. The closest hospital is Sisters of Charity Hospital - St. Joseph Campus in Cheektowaga, about 7.8 miles away in a straight line.

Lancaster is an eastern Erie County town next to Depew; the Broadway corridor holds a cluster of licensed adult care facilities on one campus.

What does assisted living at Greenfield Court 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: enhanced or dementia care usually costs more than base assisted living. 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.

How does Greenfield Court compare with licensed communities near Lancaster?

The nearest licensed communities to Greenfield Court are GreenField Terrace (0.2 mi), Symphony Manor at Lancaster (1.7 mi), Brothers of Mercy Sacred Heart Home (5.5 mi), each with its own state record.

*NYS Health Profiles, July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2026. Larger buildings and buildings with more complaint visits tend to show more citations; read the reports, not just the count.

Who operates Greenfield Court?

NYSDOH lists Lutheran Church Home at Greenfield Inc. as the operator of record (not for profit corporation), licensed since October 12, 2001.

1 other licensed community in Erie and Niagara counties carry the Greenfield name. Each holds its own operating certificate and its own inspection record, so a strong record at one does not carry over to another: GreenField Terrace.

In the 2026 Q2 quarterly report the community counted 52 residents at quarter's end against 57 certified beds (about 91% full). A community near capacity may have a wait list for SNALR or ALP beds even when other rooms are open, so ask.

A license held for 25 years usually means an older building; ask what has been renovated and when, and whether rooms and bathrooms are set up for walkers and wheelchairs.

How does Greenfield Court's record compare with other Buffalo-area assisted living?

By size, Greenfield Court ranks 29 of 34 assisted living communities in Erie and Niagara counties. It was cited 17.5 violations per 100 certified beds over the four-year window, against a two-county median of 20.0.

That is close to the regional median. A per-bed rate is a rough yardstick, not a grade: one complaint-heavy year can move it, and NYSDOH does not rank facilities. Read the dated reports above before drawing conclusions.
