License and inspection record

Is Heritage Manor of Ransomville Assisted Living Program licensed by New York State?

Yes. Heritage Manor of Ransomville Assisted Living Program holds New York State Department of Health operating certificate 500-F-099 as an Adult Home in Ransomville, with 142 certified beds in the 2026 Q2 state report, and has been licensed since June 12, 1986 (about 40 years).

On top of that base license it holds Assisted Living Residence licensure for 45 beds, and 23 Special Needs (SNALR) dementia beds. Those certifications are what make it “assisted living” in New York's legal sense, not just in its marketing.

What does Heritage Manor of Ransomville Assisted Living Program's NYSDOH inspection record show?

Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2026, NYSDOH inspected Heritage Manor of Ransomville Assisted Living Program 29 times and cited 54 violations; 18 inspections found none. The most recent report on file is a complaint survey issued June 24, 2026.

2 of those visits were routine relicensure surveys and 26 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 environmental standards, resident services, admission standards. What matters is whether the same areas repeat survey after survey, and whether the plan of correction was approved.

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

Enforcement: NYSDOH lists a Stipulation & Order (#ACF-25-060) dated September 25, 2025. A stipulation and order is a formal agreement with the Department that settles cited violations, sometimes with a civil penalty. Ask the community what it covered and what changed afterward.

Does Heritage Manor of Ransomville Assisted Living Program offer memory care (SNALR) in Ransomville?

Yes. Heritage Manor of Ransomville Assisted Living Program is certified as a Special Needs Assisted Living Residence for 23 of its 142 beds, which is New York's certification for dementia care.

That is 16% of the building. Ask whether the SNALR neighborhood is a separate secured floor or wing, how many SNALR beds are open now, and what happens if a resident's needs go beyond what SNALR covers.

Can a resident age in place at Heritage Manor of Ransomville Assisted Living Program?

Only within standard assisted living limits: Heritage Manor of Ransomville Assisted Living Program shows no Enhanced (EALR) beds, so a resident who comes to need nursing-level help may have to move.

Medicaid: Heritage Manor of Ransomville Assisted Living Program has 97 Assisted Living Program (ALP) beds, New York's Medicaid-funded assisted living for people who would otherwise qualify for a nursing home. ALP pays for care services, not room and board, and slots are limited; ask whether one is open and whether a private-pay resident can convert to ALP later. Our ALP explainer covers how it works.

What does assisted living at Heritage Manor of Ransomville Assisted Living Program 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: SNALR (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.

Who operates Heritage Manor of Ransomville Assisted Living Program?

NYSDOH lists Heritage Ransomville Management LLC as the operator of record (llc), licensed since June 12, 1986.

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

In the 2026 Q2 quarterly report the community counted 124 residents at quarter's end against 142 certified beds (about 87% 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 40 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 Heritage Manor of Ransomville Assisted Living Program's record compare with other Buffalo-area assisted living?

That is above 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.
