In 1896 a group of people with vision and a purpose, planned a residence for elderly women in need of comfort and care. In 1898 the vision became a reality with a donation from Cyrus Martin of one thousand dollars and two building lots at the corner of Canasawacta and Fair streets in Norwich. Other donations from individuals, church groups, and community organizations secured the initial development. For over one hundred years that vision has grown into Chenango County’s finest adult home providing residential care for women AND men.
In 1998 Chenango Valley Home constructed an apartment complex to provide another level of secure independent living. Today Chenango Valley Home and Apartments maintains 30 private rooms and 12 independent apartments in a friendly, caring and safe environment at an affordable cost. Services are provided by a staff of thirty-five full and part time employees along with several volunteers.This grand establishment continues its mission through competent management and continued benevolence of the community.
Chenango Valley Home services are designed to maximize our resident’s independence and personal choice by providing extra assistance with their daily living needs. We begin with a detailed assessment of your needs, goals and interests to create a customized package of services. These services are performed by our dedicated team of personal care aides and are supervised by the case manager.
