The Fellowship Community, settled on 80 acres of farm and forest land in Chestnut Ridge, offers a unique approach to long-term elder care, blending compassionate support with meaningful engagement. Inspired by Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual philosophy known as Anthroposophy, the community fosters a sense of purpose and connection for residents, integrating biodynamic agriculture, lifelong learning and shared living.

“We believe that elder care should be more than just meeting physical needs—it should be about fostering a sense of belonging and joy,” says Marketing & Communications Manager Mia Bieber. “By creating a vibrant community, we ensure that our residents live with meaning and fulfillment.”

Fellowship residents enjoy a warm, home-like atmosphere where their needs are met with personalized care. There are a range of living options—from independent studios to two-bedroom apartments to private rooms in an adult home—for those that need personalized, one-on-one care. The community provides therapeutic services, healthy meals and a diverse cultural calendar, including movement classes, music performances, study groups, films, games and artistic workshops. The focus on inclusion ensures that all members, regardless of their abilities, feel valued and purposeful.

“Since 1966, The Fellowship Community has been dedicated to creating a supportive environment where individuals can thrive, grow, and experience their later years with dignity and purpose,” adds Bieber.

Location: 241 Hungry Hollow Rd., Chestnut Ridge. For more information, call 845-356-8494, ext. 2, email [email protected] or visit FellowshipCommunity.org.
