Hindel Jesselson Named Executive Director of Amber Court Assisted Living of Smithtown

SMITHTOWN, N.Y. - Nov. 1, 2017 - PRLog -- It's an exciting time for Hindel Jesselson.  Having previously served as Executive Director at several of the largest and best known assisted living communities in the New York metropolitan area, Jesselson was recently hired as Executive Director of Amber Court Assisted Living of Smithtown, a brand new community set to open later this year on Lake Avenue in Nesconset.  In addition to hiring staff and meeting with families inquiring about Amber Court for a loved one, Jesselson is overseeing the entire operation at the 186-bed, state-of-the-art facility.

"I couldn't be happier," she observes.  "I've opened other assisted living communities and it's always exciting as the dreams, hard work, and planning come together.  But Amber Court of Smithtown takes it to a new level.  They're offering the same amenities and superior care found at high-end communities at amazingly lower costs.  People are calling every day to learn more about our Medicaid-funded programs.  They never imagined that brand new, elegant surroundings could be so affordable."

Jesselson comes to Amber Court of Smithtown after gaining invaluable experience as Executive Director at several Atria Senior Living communities in Westchester and Queens.  A graduate of Touro College, she also served as Director of Operations for the Avondale Group, where she successfully grew the agency's client base, increased employee and resident satisfaction, and established new staffing patterns to improve patient care.

"I'm devoted to making assisted living communities the best they can be," Jesselson concludes.  "At Amber Court of Smithtown, the bar was already set high when I arrived.  My job is to ensure that the owner's vision is achieved from day one — that every resident enjoys a highly personalized and comprehensive program designed to meet his or her social, emotional, and medical needs.  I can't wait until we open our doors to begin serving the community."

The new Amber Court of Smithtown is Amber Court's fifth location in the New York/New Jersey area, and second on Long Island.  It will feature many unique elements for residents, including a wellness suite, technology hub, state-of-the-art fitness center, three separate dining rooms, a bistro, general store, and a cinema.  Located near beaches, parks, restaurants, and shopping, Amber Court of Smithtown is also in close proximity to advanced medical care at Stony Brook University Hospital and St. Catherine of Sienna.

Fostering an Aging in Place environment, Amber Court has brought unmatched quality care to seniors since 1968.  Today, second generation family members lead the Amber Court team using the same guiding principles established by Alfred and Judith Schonberger.
