Rochester Presbyterian Home is an assisted-living community in Rochester, NY that is designed to serve older adults who need everyday support and close oversight. The residence specializes in caring for people with advanced dementia, and it is a fully secured community to help safeguard residents who wander, whether that tendency occurs in the morning or evening. Staff members can monitor oxygen use, manage wound care, and accommodate physician-ordered special diets, allowing residents with more complex health profiles to remain on site.
Clinical resources are concentrated in a separate memory-care wing where care teams include licensed nurses, occupational and physical therapists, and a visiting podiatrist. The community provides incontinence and ambulatory care, medication management, hospice support, and other high-acuity services. Bathing, eating, and dressing assistance are offered on a standby basis, while toileting help includes some physical assistance. Non-ambulatory residents are also accepted, and the setting maintains pet-focused programs that align with its overall memory-care model.
Resident accommodations feature private bathrooms, but not every apartment includes the same layout or square footage, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour. Rooms are designed for easy navigation and quick access to staff, which supports the community’s emphasis on memory care and prompt response times.
Dining follows a structured schedule with the flexibility to honor physician-prescribed special diets. Regular snacks are available between meals, and texture-modified options can be prepared as needed. As with the apartments, not all dining areas have identical setups, so families should ask about seating arrangements and meal service locations that best meet individual needs.
Amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, community transportation options, and proximity to public transit for family visits. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
