Overview of Jefferson’s Ferry

Jefferson’s Ferry sits at 500 Mather Drive in South Setauket, a continuing care community whose skilled nursing unit, The Vincent Bove Health Center, holds 60 beds under Active Retirement Community Inc. The range here is real: nursing home care, assisted living, independent living, and memory care all exist within the same community, not as separate, disconnected offerings.

Most admissions to the skilled nursing side are short-term, covered under Medicare, and the facility also takes Medicaid and private pay. Occupancy sits at 88 percent, 53 of 60 beds filled. Getting around outside the community takes a car; the Walk Score is 21, solidly car-dependent.

Staffing is where the numbers actually say something concrete. Total nursing care runs 5 hours and 28 minutes per resident, per day, with registered nurses handling 1 hour and 6 minutes of that. Rehabilitation services round out the clinical offering, supporting residents working toward a return home or a transition to a lower level of care within the same community.

On the regulatory side, inspections here have tended to center on fire-safety systems and staffing and staff credentials, the kind of operational areas regulators typically review at skilled nursing units inside larger continuing care communities.

What can be said about Jefferson’s Ferry is that it is a skilled nursing unit backed by real staffing depth, embedded inside a continuing care community structured so a resident’s needs can shift, short-term rehab now, something more permanent later, without starting over somewhere new.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in New York State

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New York State?

Assisted living in New York State supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New York State?

Assisted living in New York State is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does New York State Medicaid cover assisted living?

New York State Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New York State) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 374 assisted living facilities in New York State. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in New York State?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in New York State, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in New York State?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
