Opened in 1973, Ferncliff Nursing Home is served by the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm, a religious community nationally renowned for their compassionate care for the elderly.

The Sisters’ compassion is shared by the Home’s professional and support staff, who provide the best possible experience for residents and their families through holistic care -- addressing not only physical needs, but social, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs as well.

A wide variety of recreational opportunities are available to the residents, and there are special programs designed for those who are bed-bound. In addition to excellent long-term care and short-term rehabilitation programs, Ferncliff also offers an Adult Day Health Care program to those needing assistance maintaining their independence.

Ferncliff is located in the Hudson Valley community of Rhinebeck, on 36 beautiful acres of the former Astor family country estate. Views from each of Ferncliff’s 328 private or semi-private rooms reveal meticulously maintained grounds with acres of verdant lawns and mature stands of trees.

While the landscape is very impressive, first-time visitors to Ferncliff are often most impressed by the staff’s true spirit of hospitality and the tremendous enthusiasm they show for their work.
