DISGUSTING food!My family and I had been very happy with my mothers choice to move to Jefferson Ferry several years ago. We were delighted to join her for a delicious meal in either the well appointed dining room overlooking the man-made lake or in the more casual cafe.Regrettably the food at Jefferson Ferry has not retained the high quality it once had. The food is lukewarm, served in a pool of grease, referred to as gravy with vegetables which make no attempt at being fresh. The flavorless out-of-season fruit does not make a welcome addition to what is served. A dry tasteless dessert culminates the already awful meal.Visiting the cafe or the dining room for the evening meal used to be the highlight of my mothers day. She enjoyed a delicious meal, at least two selections were available, as well as the company of her new friends.Due to COVID the residents are quarantined to their apartments. While this is understandable, sitting alone attempting to ingest a meal of lumpy grease is not. Why is the most enjoyable part of the day being taken from our parents? Also, my mother has lost considerable weight which is a huge concern for her family.The price of Jefferson Ferry has gone up 35% and they are building a new wing to accommodate additional residents. Apparently they are doing well financially.MY QUESTION IS - Why arent they taking care of the residents they have?

My mom is 90 and has lived here for 5 yrs and loves it. We just visited her at Jeffersons Ferry and it was delightful. Met staff members and many knew mom by name and all were friendly and mom had nothing but nice things to say. The facility is very clean with wonderful amenities plus the tenants can be involved with different committees so they are involved in the decision making process. Beautiful grounds too

The residents here are happy, engaged and exciting.There are many things to do, trips to go on and fantastic food.The residents have as much independence as they want and the staff is top notch.My aunt and uncle are VERY happy there and they have every reason to be.

For a nursing home, Jeffersons Ferry delivers exceptional care and does take an active interest in their residents. The staff are friendly, caring, and demonstrate a respect for others, including the residents. Compared to other nursing homes, this is a pricier option but you will see every dollar spent well and devoted to providing the best patient care.

My mum lives here and because of work I, sadly, have to be 1000 miles away from her in Minneapolis. But every day I thank God that my mother has the ability to live in a place like Jeffersons Ferry where I know shes being looked after! When she fractured her pelvic bone they took stellar care of her and since it was right on the premises, her companion, whom she had met 11 years previous when she first moved to Jeffersons Ferry, was able to walk over every day to see her without even going outside. And then, when he got sick last year and sadly passed, my mum was able to be with him. Its like living in a hotel but with a community that cares because they get to know you. And its not a depressing old folks home at all! They do all kinds of activities, take trips, go into the City to museums and to the theater, they have movie nights, lectures, classes, workshops, clubs--my mum herself started the Garden Club! They have a beautiful indoor pool that is my 10 year olds favorite when we visit; a salon, a work out room, a library, a cafeteria and a more formal dining room, and many, many more amenities. Also the food is very good! Always fresh and they go out of their way to please you. The people who work there are really just the nicest people in the world and, as I said, every morning, I know if mum doesnt get up and go push the button by her front door to let them know shes ok, that theyll be there to check up on her. You just cant put a price on that kind of gratitude. It brings me such comfort. I really am so lucky to have a mum who was forward thinking enough to plan ahead for her golden years and that she found Jeffersons Ferry. If you are considering going there for yourself or a loved one, do NOT HESITATE! Of course, you have to meet certain requirements to be invited to live there but if you do...go! I would, if I were old enough!
