Social Activities


Retire from work, not life.
Retirement is a beginning, not an end.


At Fernwood Estates, a 55+ Community, you will find endless possibilities to fulfill the promise of who you really are.

Game Nights Whether you choose to learn a new board game, like trying your hand at Scrabble or Michigan Rummy, bring your loose change. adkHbn1mLRtmmH3C.jpg

Ice Cream Social We treat ourselves to an annual Ice Cream Social, a favorite of many as evidenced by the number of people who try different flavors of ice cream topped off with nuts and plenty of whipped cream and hot fudge. Kt6kd4B1xS8ba51e.jpg
Annual Dinners Our annual dinners include the Holiday Party, Saint Patrick's Day Dinner and the Great Steak Out. We don't stop there; our annual events often include an Italian Night, a Pot Luck, a Pancake Breakfast or a Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest.  This is where our gourmet cooks shine.

Fernwood Cycling Club There are some beautiful rides in West Hartford and surrounding towns.  We have travelled to Bloomfield, Windsor, the Farmington Valley, and even cycled one day along the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail to New Haven.  Come join us. v17Ri7CxY7E4hXk2.jpg
