The Homestead at Rochester delivers a dedicated memory-care program designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Specialized staff receive ongoing training in cueing, redirection, and behavior management, and structured daily routines are in place to support cognitive function and reduce anxiety. Secure living areas and monitored entrances help minimize wandering risks while still encouraging residents to remain as independent as possible within safe boundaries.

Additional medical support reflects the facility’s emphasis on meeting short-term and chronic healthcare needs. Respite stays are available for family caregivers who need a temporary break, and the team can coordinate these stays rapidly when circumstances change. Residents with diabetes have access to blood-glucose monitoring, medication administration, and diet management overseen by licensed nurses. Coordination with outside physicians and nearby hospitals helps maintain continuity of care when more specialized services are required.

Accommodation options vary in layout and features, so not every residence includes every amenity. Depending on the unit, residents may have wheelchair-accessible showers, traditional bath tubs, or both. Weight limits are observed to ensure safe use of equipment and lifts. Cats are permitted in designated areas, and common spaces include outdoor courtyards, indoor lounges, a library, resident parking, and a billiards lounge for recreation.

All residents receive three meals a day prepared to align with individual dietary needs, including modified textures and diabetic-friendly choices when necessary. Meal schedules are consistent to support residents with memory loss, and staff remain on hand to offer assistance with eating or portion control. Snacks and hydration stations are available between meals to help maintain steady nutrition.

Daily life is supplemented by organized activities on-site such as exercise classes, crafts, and small-group discussions, while scheduled outings allow residents to participate in community events off-site. A dedicated game room provides space for cards, puzzles, and other tabletop games, and warmer months bring opportunities to enjoy the on-campus swimming pool under staff supervision.
