Camphill Ghent is a vibrant residential community for elders that offers a meaningful quality of life and a rich, active social program designed to support residents in maintaining their independence and joy of living.
Located on 110 beautiful acres in rural upstate New York, Camphill Ghent is in a prime location, just minutes from the quaint village of Chatham and close to the expansive cultural life of the Hudson Valley, Berkshires and Capital Region.
Camphill Ghent is the only independent living senior community in Columbia County. It is also the only assisted living home in New York State that is integrated with senior residents who have developmental disabilities.
The mission of Camphill Ghent is inspired by the traditions and values of the worldwide Camphill Movement: to care for, celebrate, embrace and honor the special strengths and needs of each individual. For over 70 years, Camphill has been building communities around the world where individuals are honored for their integrity and value to the whole community.
At Camphill Ghent, every member of the community has an opportunity to contribute to the lives of others, and likewise, to benefit from the experiences and endeavors of others.
We take pride in being a community where senior citizens feel enthusiastic about life as they enjoy beauty, art, learning and rich friendships. We offer physical, soul and spiritual support so that our residents can enjoy meaningful activities, have opportunities for social engagement, and experience cultural and festival life to enrich the soul.
