Summit at Forts Ferry

Summit at Forts Ferry sits in Colonie, NY, and provides many kinds of senior care including independent living, assisted living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, skilled nursing for short-term needs, and continuing care so folks can stay in one place as their needs change, and there's a buy-in fee for the CCRC program. The community cares a lot about helping seniors keep their independence while also giving support every day, like help bathing, getting dressed, managing medicines, and moving around, so people can live comfortably and safely, with 24-hour supervision, emergency call systems, and staff always around. Summit at Forts Ferry has rooms and apartments tailored for seniors, like private bathrooms, kitchenettes, fully furnished spaces, air-conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, telephones, and special features to make moving around easy and safe, and, for fun, there are pickleball and bocce courts, a library, a movie theater, a computer room, a fitness center, a garden, a beauty salon, and even a swimming pool. Residents get housekeeping, linen services, meals prepared for different diets including diabetes or allergies, restaurant-style dining all day, and scheduled transportation to appointments, so day-to-day life is easy, and there are always plenty of activities - like planned day trips, games, movies, arts classes, music, and resident-run events - plus social areas and outdoor walking paths where people gather. If someone's needs change, Summit at Forts Ferry covers many levels of care, from just having extra support with daily life to memory care that keeps people safe from wandering, tries to slow memory problems, and helps with anxiety. Wellness and fitness programs run all week, and there's a spa and wellness room to help folks relax. Families get peace of mind from knowing there's 24-hour staff, medication services, medical help, and staff with names for their care programs and teams. Everything runs within the mixed-use development, which has senior apartments for both independent seniors and people needing full care, townhouses and apartments for those 55 and older, and shared spaces with community-sponsored and resident-led activities. Summit at Forts Ferry puts thought into making the surroundings safe, supportive, and welcoming, and the setting is calm with gardens and scenic spaces, aiming to make each day comfortable and engaging for every resident, while letting them stay as independent as possible for as long as possible.
