As New York State\u2019s only equity-based model, Peconic Landing is the most heavily regulated CCRC statewide. This oversight helps contribute to our strong fiscal standing and premier quality of care. As a Life Plan Community providing long-term care, Peconic Landing is subject to all laws and regulations set forth by the New York State Department of Health in association with the New York State Continuing Care Retirement Community Council. The cooperative ownership component of the community is governed through the New York State Attorney General\u2019s Office while the insurance component of the Lifecare contract is overseen by the New York State Department of Financial Services, which approves all monthly service fees and purchase prices.<\/p>

Peconic Landing is proud to be one of five CCRCs in New York State to have earned a distinction by the Fitch Rating Agency, a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Holding a Fitch rating helps the organization with financial investments geared towards strategic growth for the future. A proven asset, the rating helped Peconic Landing to receive a favorable interest rate on bonds issued for the community\u2019s most recent expansion in 2016. Based on our community’s continued high level of occupancy and strong financial performance, Peconic Landing maintains a stable BBB- investment grade rating. In 2025, Fitch reaffirmed Peconic Landing\u2019s rating, noting the organization\u2019s fiscal stability, strong revenue defensibility and favorable location.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
