When choosing a retirement community, among the factors to consider are the cost of living, access to care, accessibility to life outside the community, lifestyle and location. Experts agree one of the best ways to get to know the community you're considering moving to is to talk with the people who live there.
Here's your chance. You and a handful of Jefferson's Ferry residents are invited to join a Zoom call on Oct 28 at 1 p.m. Residents will share their perspective about life at Jefferson's Ferry and answer your questions.

🍷 Happy #NationalDrinkWineDay! Fun fact: Jefferson's Ferry has its own bottled wine. Years and years ago, a committee of residents met and decided they wanted a bottled wine on property from a #LongIsland winery. After much deliberation, they chose to have our house wine produced and bottled by Peconic Bay Winery which is now known as LENZ Winery 🍷. #TheMoreYouKnow #FunFact #Winery #HappyHour #DrinkWine #NewYork #Cheers #Seniors #Retirement #ForeverYoung
🥰 Today was our second dose of the #COVID19 vaccine for most of our residents and staff. But for one staff member in particular, it had an extra special meaning. Allison in Accounting writes: "Finally!!! Some people don’t look forward to getting shots, but this shot meant so much to me today, I couldn’t wait. It means I can finally see my family after a year of not being able to hug and kiss them. It’s been a tough road for many people in many different ways but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you Jefferson's Ferry for making that happen". Cheers to better days ahead. ❤️ #InThisTogether #Vaccinated #NewYork #LongIsland #CrushingCovid #Thankful
💜💚💛 We might not be able to party in New Orleans this year, but who says we can't bring the party to #JeffersonsFerry? Our Vincent Bove Health Center Recreation staff were at it again, going door to door to spread some #cheer. They made their own #MardiGras themed floats and "floated" past each of the residents doors handing out festive beads and #moonpies! In contrast, flashback to previous years when we were in full party mode in #IndependentLiving, ironically still wearing a mask, only a more fun kind. We are very much looking forward to those days again. 💛💚💜 #Seniors #Retirement #ForeverYoung #LongIsland #HappyHour #NeedIt #MissIt #Festive #NewYork

👩❤️👨Meet the Keneally's! Patrick and Andrea moved into their cottage in January of this year. Choosing Jefferson's Ferry was simple for them. They came from a large home in the Setauket area and began to realize that although they loved living there, it was becoming too much to take care of. The location of Jefferson's Ferry was perfect, they were still close to all their favorite places and friends. Patrick and Andrea met in grammar school and have been together since high school! Patrick was in the construction 🚧🦺 industry for many years - he even built a road down a mountain in Iran! Andrea was a nurse 👩⚕️ for over 50 years, working with Elementary school kids was her favorite. Andrea is a very talented pastel artist 🎨 and Patrick is into Genealogy. They are a very lovely couple, be sure to get to know them when you get the chance. #WelcomeHome #Retirement #JeffersonsFerry #Downsizing #Seniors #LongIsland #NewYork #IndependentLiving #ActiveRetirement

🎉Earlier this week, Housekeeping said farewell to two of their valued team members. Myrna, who has been with Jefferson’s Ferry for just under {10} years, proudly retired and we couldn’t be happier for her🍾🥳. She was well known by all for her personality and infectious laugh. Mercedes, who has been with us since 2015, was well known for her warmth and compassionate nature🌻. Both were loved dearly by our residents and will be missed by all, residents and staff. We wish them the very best of luck in their future endeavors🎂. #Farewell #EmployeeAppreciation #JeffersonsFerry #Retirement #Seniors #LongIsland #NewYork #IndependentLiving #AssistedLiving #SkilledNursing #Housekeeping
🤩 Get your groove on in our #DanceGroove class! Residents are pumped to get back into their fitness routines 💪. Our Fitness Instructor, Lynda Shoettl, choreographs 💃 these fun dances for the residents to get their bodies moving. Classes are designed to be small to promote social distancing. You could really feel the energy in there! 🙌 This class is currently offered twice a week - sign-ups required in advance. #MovingAndGrooving #Active #Seniors #Retirement #ForeverYoung #LongIsland #NewYork #IndependentLiving #AssistedLiving #SkilledNursing #JeffersonsFerry
🍀🌈The spirit of St. Patrick’s Day is alive and well here at Jefferson’s Ferry. Residents and staff (and even pets!) are rocking their green apparel 👕– some even got super festive with it! Each Independent Living resident will be receiving a hand delivered goody bag containing: a bottle of O’Doul’s🍻, Irish soda bread, candies, and a nice little St. Patrick’s Day message. In the Vincent Bove Health Center, the staff created “floats” and passed by residents’ rooms. They also created festive leprechaun wreaths for their doors. Later on tonight they will have a “socially distanced social” and gather in small groups to share some rainbow cake. 🍀🌈 #JeffersonsFerry #IndependentLiving #AssistedLiving #SkilledNursing #StPatricksDay #Festive #Seniors #Retirement #LongIsland #NewYork #HolidaySpirit
🌷🌻Meet Lynn Hegyi, our Independent Living Receptionist! Lynn has been here for 20 years, there isn't a question she can’t answer about Jefferson's Ferry.
