The Residence at Ferry Park

My grandmother spent the last year of her life at The Residence at Ferry Park, and I cannot say enough about the incredible care and community she experienced there. She always told me that Ferry Park truly felt like home, and that every associate—whether an aide, nurse, server, or director—treated her like family. She loved the engagement opportunities and never missed a happy hour, which always brought her so much joy. Thank you to the entire Ferry Park team for creating such a loving, caring, and supportive environment. It gave us so much comfort knowing she was surrounded by people who genuinely cared for her.

My husband and I recently entertained here. From the time we came in until we left, all staff and residents were kind and welcoming. The staff interacted with the residents and everyone looked very happy and content. We hope to be there to entertain again, soon!

I don't know how to express my gratitude and appreciation to Maureen Cunningham (Sales and Marketing Director), Theresa Williams (Executive Director) and staff made us feel welcome and helped every step away to get my father to Ferry Park. The place so clean, the staffs are attentive and caring to their residence, they have empathy where my father dealing tough time likes brain cancer. The first time I came into Ferry Park, I already knew this is a place where my father could make this place his home. This is a great place for anyone who want to live their golden years. You don't need to believe me just read other reviews on this page and you will know.

From the moment we walked through the doors at Ferry Park, it was clear that the facility was designed with the needs of my mom and other seniors in mind, combining modern amenities with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. After Dad passed a couple years ago, mom's dementia became more evident and we knew we had to do something for her safety. Sydney at Ferry Park was just wonderful and patient, as we visited numerous times prior to move-in! Staff and Care: The staff at Ferry Park are amazing! Everyone, from the reception desk to the nurses, are all willing to help with any needs we have. Help is available around the clock, providing peace of mind for the residents and their families, like ours. Facility and Amenities: The facility itself is clean, spacious, and well-maintained. Common areas are bright and inviting, with plenty of comfortable seating and welcoming spaces for socializing. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, with outdoor spaces for walks or relaxation on the back patio. My mom's room is spacious with all the necessary amenities, such as a private bathroom, closet space, and a small kitchenette. The facility is the perfect size for our needs as we have visited 4 other facilities and found that none were to our liking, or mom's. Activities and Social Life: One of the standout features of Ferry Park is its robust Engagement (activity) schedule. Residents enjoy a variety of recreational options, including arts and crafts, exercise classes, walking clubs, garden club, movie nights, games, etc. There's a real emphasis on maintaining an active lifestyle and promoting social interaction between residents and staff alike. Or to sit and soak up some rays at the waterfall by the patio. We are relieved to see that when mom leaves her apartment at 10 a.m., she doesn't return until 9 p.m. in the evening. She stays busy all day which makes for a happy mom since she is a very active person. This keeps the family at rest, knowing she is safe and active -- and now thriving with many new friends! Food and Dining: The dining experience at Ferry Park is another highlight. The food is consistently well-prepared, with a daily menu that offers specials and a variety of healthy options. The kitchen is flexible, open all day, ensuring that each resident’s needs are met. The dining room is bright and spacious, and meals are served in a relaxed, social atmosphere which, yet again, suggests socialization for residents. When my mom was home alone, getting her to eat was a real task, but with her new friends, she can socialize while she eats which in turn gets her to eat more. Family Involvement and Communication: Ferry Park keeps family members involved in their loved one’s care. Updates are provided on the health and well-being of mom, and there are opportunities for family visits and meetings with staff. Communication is clear and timely which is important for those who cannot visit as often. For those who can visit more often, you are able to take their loved one out at any time to enrich their lives even further. Memory Care: Since this facility offers a Memory Care unit, known as Reflections, Ferry Park takes some guesswork out when the Assisted Living resident will require a step-down into dementia/ Alzheimer's care. Staff work hard to engage residents into daily activities they have. Conclusion: Overall, The Residence at Ferry Park is a high-quality, 5 star facility that offers a supportive and nurturing environment for seniors. It’s an excellent choice for families seeking a balance of care, community, and independence for their loved ones. It would be a perfect option for those that find themselves in the situation like we were: What can we do with mom, where she will be safe and thrive for her golden years. Our family loves to see that she has made friends so quickly and has already fit in just a month. Thanks to all the Ferry Park staff who made the decision easier for mom and our family!!
