Mount View Assisted Living

NYSDOH-licensed Adult Home in Lockport, Niagara County — 156 certified beds, certificate 500-F-105.

License and inspection record

Is Mount View Assisted Living licensed by New York State?

Yes. Mount View Assisted Living holds New York State Department of Health operating certificate 500-F-105 as an Adult Home in Lockport, with 156 certified beds in the 2026 Q2 state report, and has been licensed since August 21, 2015 (about 11 years).

It does not hold Assisted Living Residence (ALR) licensure. Its assisted living is delivered through the Medicaid Assisted Living Program, which certifies 150 of its beds. That is a legitimate form of assisted living in New York, but it is aimed at residents who qualify for Medicaid and would otherwise need a nursing home.

What does Mount View Assisted Living's NYSDOH inspection record show?

Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2026, NYSDOH inspected Mount View Assisted Living 9 times and cited 10 violations; 6 inspections found none. The most recent report on file is a relicensure, complaint survey issued May 26, 2026.

2 of those visits were routine relicensure surveys and 9 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, operating certificates, admission standards. What matters is whether the same areas repeat survey after survey, and whether the plan of correction was approved.

Does Mount View Assisted Living offer memory care (SNALR) in Lockport?

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

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 Mount View Assisted Living?

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

Medicaid: Mount View Assisted Living has 150 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.

From the operator's own published information: A newly renovated, 150-capacity Assisted Living Program housed in a building that has served Niagara County since 1917. The building's history runs from one of the country's first tuberculosis hospitals to Mount View Health Facility before its current assisted-living use, per the operator's own history page.

What does assisted living at Mount View Assisted Living 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.
