Ferncliff Nursing Home is nestled on a serene 36-acre campus, offering a peaceful and picturesque environment that was once part of the historic Astor family estate. Located on the western edge of Rhinebeck, New York, Ferncliff provides a charming, park-like setting for its residents, making it a welcoming and comforting place for those in need of skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. Surrounded by natural beauty, the facility is designed to be a true home for residents from across the Hudson Valley, ensuring that their transition into a new living environment is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
What truly distinguishes Ferncliff Nursing Home is its energetic and compassionate staff, who are dedicated to delivering high-quality care. From the very first day, the team works closely with residents and their families to develop a personalized care plan, offering monthly updates to give loved ones peace of mind about their family member's well-being. The facility embraces a Montessori care philosophy, especially in its memory care programs, focusing on guiding daily interactions by responding to each resident's unique needs and preferences. This approach is evident in the state-of-the-art Center for Advanced Memory Care, which opened in January 2022. The Center blends cutting-edge science with deep compassion, utilizing advanced methods to support residents experiencing Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Ferncliff Nursing Home also features a newly renovated, state-of-the-art rehabilitation center, dedicated to continuing the tradition of expert short-term and post-acute rehabilitation that the region has long relied upon. The rehabilitation team’s primary goal is to help residents regain strength, mobility, and independence, enabling them to return home as quickly and safely as possible. This commitment to exceptional rehabilitation and support extends across all aspects of care at Ferncliff.
Additionally, since 2015, Ferncliff has offered specialized care for residents with Huntington’s disease, ALS, and other neurodegenerative disorders. The dedicated care unit provides comprehensive clinical support, a variety of therapies, recreational activities, and emotional support for both residents and their families. The focus is always on improving the quality of life for those living with challenging neurological conditions.
Ferncliff places a strong emphasis on infection prevention and control. Continual monitoring by a trained Infection Prevention and Control Nurse is standard, and protocols are enforced to maintain a safe, healthy environment for all residents. The facility’s comprehensive infection prevention initiatives, including early testing and vigilant use of personal protective equipment, further demonstrate its commitment to resident safety.
