Albany Senior AdvisorNew York's Department of Health licenses The Cambridge, 4 West Main Street in Cambridge, as an adult home for 40 residents with ALR and EALR certification; the building is in the Town of White Creek, Washington County.
Is The Cambridge in Cambridge state-licensed?
New York lists The Cambridge as an adult home under 760-F-018 with room for 40; a typical Capital Region residence holds 66, so this one is smaller than most.
| License | Operating certificate | Certified capacity | ALR certifications (beds) | Opened | Residents, end of 2026 Q2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adult Home | 760-F-018 | 40 | ALR 40, EALR 14 | February 9, 2016 | 22 |
When 2026 Q2 closed, 22 people lived here in 40 certified beds, roughly 55% occupancy. The state lists Icc Management & Consulting, Inc. as operator (business corporation). Licensing at this address goes back to 2016.
Can a resident stay at The Cambridge as needs increase?
According to the state's quarterly capacity report, 40 beds carry Assisted Living Residence (ALR) certification; 14 are Enhanced ALR (EALR) beds, which let residents with heavier physical needs stay.
Because certifications attach to beds rather than to the whole building, ask which room or wing your parent would live in and whether that specific bed holds the certification their care calls for. More on ALR, EALR and SNALR.
