Mary Agnes Manor ALP

NYSDOH-licensed Adult Home in Buffalo, Erie County — 230 certified beds, certificate 240-F-868.

License and inspection record

Is Mary Agnes Manor ALP licensed by New York State?

Yes. Mary Agnes Manor ALP holds New York State Department of Health operating certificate 240-F-868 as an Adult Home in Buffalo, with 230 certified beds in the 2026 Q2 state report, and has been licensed since June 25, 1991 (about 35 years).

On top of that base license it holds Assisted Living Residence licensure for 230 beds, and 96 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 Mary Agnes Manor ALP's NYSDOH inspection record show?

Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2026, NYSDOH inspected Mary Agnes Manor ALP 38 times and cited 89 violations; 15 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 35 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 resident services, environmental standards, medication management. What matters is whether the same areas repeat survey after survey, and whether the plan of correction was approved.

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

Enforcement: NYSDOH lists a Stipulation & Order (#ACF-24-012) dated May 1, 2024. 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 Mary Agnes Manor ALP offer memory care (SNALR) in Buffalo?

Yes. Mary Agnes Manor ALP is certified as a Special Needs Assisted Living Residence for 96 of its 230 beds, which is New York's certification for dementia care.

That is 42% 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 Mary Agnes Manor ALP?

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

Medicaid: Mary Agnes Manor ALP has 70 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.

Where is Mary Agnes Manor ALP, and what is nearby in Buffalo?

Mary Agnes Manor ALP is at 307 Porter Avenue in Buffalo, Erie County. The closest hospital is Buffalo General Medical Center in Buffalo, about 1.3 miles away in a straight line.

Other nearby hospitals: Sisters of Charity Hospital (Buffalo, 2.8 mi); Erie County Medical Center (Buffalo, 3.6 mi).

2 other licensed adult care facilities sit within five miles, so families here may need to widen the search to compare options.

Buffalo itself holds the region's three big hospital systems (Kaleida Health, Catholic Health and Erie County Medical Center), so city communities tend to see more short-stay and post-hospital admissions than the suburbs.

From the operator's own published information: Located on the D'Youville University campus with views of Lake Erie and downtown Buffalo; operates a Medicaid-sponsored Assisted Living Program. The operator's site states it maintains a Special Needs Assisted Living Residence track in addition to its standard ALP, worth confirming directly for a specific resident's needs.

What does assisted living at Mary Agnes Manor ALP 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 Mary Agnes Manor ALP?

In the 2026 Q2 quarterly report the community counted 175 residents at quarter's end against 230 certified beds (about 76% 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 35 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.
