Is Judson Meadows in Glenville state-licensed?
New York lists Judson Meadows as an enriched housing program under 650-S-009 with room for 80; a typical Capital Region residence holds 66, so this one is bigger than most.
| License | Operating certificate | Certified capacity | ALR certifications (beds) | Opened | Residents, end of 2026 Q2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enriched Housing Program | 650-S-009 | 80 | ALR 70, EALR 70, ALP 10 | November 18, 2013 | 60 |
When 2026 Q2 closed, 60 people lived here in 80 certified beds, roughly 75% occupancy. The state lists Baptist Health Enriched Housing Program, Inc. as operator (not for profit corporation). Licensing at this address goes back to 2013.
Can a resident stay at Judson Meadows as needs increase?
According to the state's quarterly capacity report, 70 beds carry Assisted Living Residence (ALR) certification; 70 are Enhanced ALR (EALR) beds, which let residents with heavier physical needs stay; 10 are Medicaid-funded Assisted Living Program (ALP) beds.
These certifications decide whether someone can stay when needs change: EALR covers chronic help with walking or transfers, and SNALR requires a dementia plan approved by the department. More on ALR, EALR and SNALR.

- Ask how many enhanced and special needs beds are free today and what triggers a move from one level to another.
