LIVE THE SPIRIT
OF THE
FINGER LAKES

INSPIRATION, INDEPENDENCE AND ENJOYMENT.

As legend has it, an ancient spirit blessed the earth by laying his hands upon it, forming the impressions that were to become New York’s wondrous Finger Lakes.  Throughout the centuries that followed, those fortunate enough to experience the area have been treated to the region’s unique and boundless beauty.

Ferris Hills is a comfortable way to live the spirit of this spectacular gift of nature.  Overlooking beautiful Canandaigua Lake and nestled on 57 acres between West Lake and Middle Cheshire Roads, is Ferris Hills at West Lake. It’s the senior living community that’s like a classic country resort, combining an inspirational setting with the pleasures of maintenance-free living, priority access to enriched living and coordinated access to nursing care, if ever needed.

At Ferris Hills, you can remain near your Canandaigua family and friends while enjoying the freedoms of everyday life.  You are always welcome to come and go as you please, to entertain when you want, and to pursue personal interests at your own pace.  Best of all, you can do this from the comfort of a private apartment decorated to your tastes and with your furnishings.

For more than 100 years, Thompson Health has been the premier provider of quality health care in the Finger Lakes area.  This tradition of excellence continues with the Ferris HIlls senior living community created with your needs in mind, set in a spectacular natural setting.  Live the Spirit of the Finger Lakes in all its glory.
