A Retirement Location That's Right for You: Senior Living in Sleepy Hollow, NY

Seniors having coffee

Although many seniors who are looking for a senior living community tend to focus most on the community itself – including what activities are offered, how many services and amenities there are and what levels of care are available – it’s also important to consider the surrounding area and how it can enhance your lifestyle. It’s no secret that being an active part in the community around you and getting involved can improve health, lead to feelings of fulfillment and provide additional excitement and joy. At Kendal on Hudson, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to do just that.

“Located in Sleepy Hollow, NY, Kendal on Hudson is located in a truly unique area. With a centralized location within the lower Hudson Valley, residents have access to both small-town charm and the excitement of the city,” says Ellen Ottstadt, Director of Resident Services at Kendal on Hudson, the only true Lifecare community in Westchester County. “In fact, many of our residents come from New York City to enjoy both the comfort and serenity of a slower pace while having constant access to the city and an array of community events.”Because of our location, Kendal on Hudson provides residents with the best of both worlds.

A Variety of Experiences to Cater to a Variety of Tastes

Residents at Kendal on Hudson enjoy the choice of convenience that the Sleepy Hollow location has to offer on a daily basis. There is always something fun to enjoy, whether it includes educational experiences, spending time in the city or taking in the surrounding community. Some of our residents’ favorites include:

  • Taking the train to New York City. Our Lifecare community is located just 35 miles north of New York City, making a day trip or extended vacation simple and convenient. Metro-North trains depart for New York City into Grand Central Station about every 30 minutes. Enjoy a Broadway show, meet up with friends for dinner or simply enjoy a day of fun.
  • Enjoying unique history. If Halloween comes to mind when you think of Sleepy Hollow, you’re right! Washington Irving based The Legend of Sleepy Hollow on our community, making Halloween a big deal – and a month-long celebration. Our community also has an array of historical sites including The Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow; the Union Church of Pocantico Hills; Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate; Philipsburg Manor, a working Colonial farm; and so much more.
  • Soaking in the beauty of nature. Whether residents are on our campus enjoying the view of the Hudson River or Manhattan skyline or enjoying the 88-acre Rockwood Hall section of the Rockefeller State Park Preserve adjacent to our community, there are plenty of opportunities to immerse yourself in beauty. Residents often enjoy the acres of woodlands, trails, open lawns and scenic views our community provides.
  • Enhancing education. Residents have recently spearheaded an initiative to enter into a partnership with Pace University to create additional opportunities for lifelong learning. With this partnership, they will be able to attend classes and events while becoming mentors for students. They will also receive discounted admission to performances at Pace University’s Schimmel Center in New York City.

Aside from all of this, residents enjoy various fairs, cultural events, shopping and delicious dining opportunities. There is always something fun and exciting to do; the possibilities are endless.
