I visited this facility

We went to Jefferson's Ferry. It was beautiful, great, clean, but it was just too much money. It was a very pleasant place. They were good, we didn't have any complaints, and we did not have any issues. They had an activity night and bingo. It was modern, homey, and the apartments were nice and roomy.

I'm a grandchild of a resident who started in independent living before moving to assisted living and now the memory wing. While Jefferson's Ferry is undeniably expensive, my family love the nurses and think that the medical care there is good. There's a wood shop, movie theater, pool, weight room, library, and an activities schedule. They have a banquet-brunch every Sunday. My grandparent had a two-bedroom apartment that was perfectly sized for one person, updated, and clean, with everything you&apo…

They increase the monthly fee each year so after 8 years there mother is paying $60,000 a year for independent living. The main building for independent living isn't well made and her apartment has had so many leaks she will be moving to another apartment in that building. Once when she fell the emergency alert button didn't go off and once the elevator doors crushed her leaving a broken rib. While this facility has many good points there are also problems and it is very expensive.

Jefferson’s Ferry was nice. I have no problem living in any of those. The apartments were nice, and it’s what we need. They have some cottages that were also very nice.

Jefferson's Ferry was very nice, and very accommodating; but they're just on the expensive side to buy in; that's just for a 1-bedroom unit. The amenities were very good. You also pay $3,000 monthly for your maintenance, food, and things like that. The dining area was lovely, and they fed us during the tour; but it's the Cadillac of senior homes, and I think it's overpriced. They have quite a few activities, and they have services like taking you to the doctor's appointment. It's …

Jefferson's Ferry was a wonderful and gorgeous place. The main building and healthcare were incredible. It had anything anybody could possibly want, but I'm not old and feeble enough for that place. I wanted a cottage as opposed to an apartment, and they didn't have too many available. There was a lot of traffic and parking areas. It was very urban, and I don't like the city; I like the country, but it was a happy and beautiful place. The staff seemed wonderful, very friendly, caring, and accomm…
