Hindel Jesselson, a Cedarhurst resident, with a husband and three children was named the executive director of Amber Court Assisted Living of Smithtown, a new community set to open later this year on Lake Avenue in Nesconset.

Previously, Jesselson was the executive director at several Atria Senior Living communities in Westchester and Queens. In addition to hiring staff and meeting with families inquiring about Amber Court for a loved one, she is overseeing the entire operation at the 186-bed, state-of-the-art facility.

“I couldn’t be happier,” she said in a news release. “I’ve opened other assisted living communities and it’s always exciting as the dreams, hard work, and planning come together.”

A graduate of Touro College, Jesselson also served as director of operations for the Avondale Group, where she grew the agency’s client base, increased employee and resident satisfaction, and established new staffing patterns to improve patient care, company officials said.
