About Camphill Ghent

Tucked between the rolling hills and ponds of a former 110-acre dairy farm just outside the village of Chatham lies Camphill Ghent, a thriving Camphill community of elders. Camphill Ghent offers a unique senior community designed for those who prioritize community, cultural and festival life, caring for the land, and shared anthroposophical values. 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.

 

Our stunning townhouse and beautiful co-house apartments offer vibrant independent living options. Camphill Ghent also provides assisted living for those needing additional support. We offer the only assisted living home in New York State that integrates elderly residents with developmental disabilities with those without. 
​
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 worldwide where individuals are honored for their integrity and value to the whole community.
​
We take pride in being a community where elders 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.
Camphill Ghent is just minutes from the quaint village of Chatham – close to restaurants, shops, performance arts venues, a library, hiking trails, and a local movie theatre. It is also close to the expansive cultural life of the Hudson Valley, Berkshires, and the Capital Region.
