At the Jewish Home of Rochester, we’re dedicated to meeting the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs of our residents through nursing, medical, recreation therapy, social work and spiritual care services. Our dedication to honoring the preferences and different care needs of our residents is part of our families among families culture - to treat your family members as we do our own. Our 362-bed residential community is designed to provide various levels of care to meet those individual needs.

A major renovation of each of our resident rooms includes significant changes in the physical environment, incorporating unique senior design features, including flat-screen televisions, new furniture, carpeted rooms, increased lighting and integrated nurse call systems. We’ve also added curio cabinets outside each room to personalize each resident’s space. 

Dining areas have new wood floors, bright wall-coverings, improved lighting, comfortable seating and new tables. Meals are now served restaurant-style on new china to make resident dining experiences interactive and enjoyable.
