Pomeroy Living Rochester Independent sits on South Boulevard just east of Adams Road in Rochester Hills, tucked away in a cozy corner with big trees and a quiet feeling, and it's close enough to shops, restaurants, churches, synagogues, and the Older Persons Commission senior center, which makes it easy for folks to get out and stay connected if they want. The place has one- and two-bedroom apartments, furnished with high ceilings and granite countertops, some with balconies or patios, and even though the finishes are nice, everything feels comfortable, not too fancy or loud-some people prefer that smaller, close-knit feeling. Residents come here looking for independent living, but if they ever need it, there's assisted living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, and even hospice and palliative care, all offered in the same community, so different needs can be met as time goes on.
Meals are freshly cooked every day by a chef and served in the dining room, and there's coffee and baked goods in the bar and lounge, which makes for a good start in the morning or an easy place to visit in the afternoon. Housekeeping handles the light cleaning and laundry each week, so regular chores don't pile up, and that leaves more time for activities, which staff put together every day, like classes, group outings, movies in the cinema, happy hours with dancing, and spa or salon visits for folks who like to keep up with their routines. The Welcome Committee hosts special receptions for new arrivals and helps introduce them to the community, which some people find helpful when starting out.
There's always something happening if folks want to get involved, but it's also fine to spend time in the sitting rooms or stroll in the green spaces outside. People who live here tend to be active, healthy seniors, and the place is set up to support that with fitness programs, beauty salon and barbershop, and plenty of chances to relax or pick up a hobby again. Skilled nursing and therapy staff are around every day for those who need more help, and the memory care team is trained to help residents stay as independent as possible, planning social and developmental activities.
After being open for about 30 years, Pomeroy Living Rochester Independent has settled into a steady pace, and the staff, many with long experience in hospitality and health care, are used to helping people feel at home. Folks who want to learn more can schedule a tour, meet some of the staff and residents, and see how things run firsthand. The facility is open daily from 8:00am to 8:00pm, and offers a friendly, supportive environment for seniors who want to keep living their own lives while having a bit of help with daily tasks and lots of opportunities for staying active and social.
