St. John's Home sits in Rochester, New York, and has a lot to offer for older adults who want different levels of care and services, including skilled nursing, independent living, enhanced assisted living, hospice, respite, and dementia care. The facility's 150 Highland setting uses small homes so each resident gets personalized help and can keep familiar routines, and you'll notice the rooms are private, have Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs with lots of cable choices, and spots around to sit and talk if you want company. The place recently renovated its rehabilitation area and added new dining choices, which makes things more comfortable whether you're there for a short stay or for the long haul.
For those needing rehab, St. John's Home has a large rehab gym and life skills center, and staff there offer physical, occupational, speech, music therapy, and skills training. There's a dedicated Wolk Rehabilitation Center on-site, and therapists are trained in the latest techniques, working under internists and geriatricians, with plenty of PAs, nurse practitioners, social workers, and therapists to help. The rehab program also has special approaches for older adults with mild to moderate dementia, focusing on what the person can do and making sure the care fits their needs. They treat rehab and long-term residents alike so no one feels left out.
St. John's Home covers a wide range of health care, like internal medicine, palliative care, nursing care with pharmacy, therapy, social work, pastoral care, and recreation. They offer programs so people can stay active-activities for mind and body, ways to build friendships, and options for those with Alzheimer's or other memory troubles. Safety gets attention from small home layouts made for easy, safe movement. Independence and choice matter here, with staff supporting what each elder wants as much as possible.
It's one of the few Eden Alternative-registered nursing homes in the area, which means the care is meant to feel neighborly and brighten up daily life. It's also the only senior living spot locally built with New Urbanism in mind, which makes the area feel more like a real neighborhood. St. John's Home is part of a wider group that includes St. John's Meadows and Brickstone By St. John's, giving residents several community choices. Amenities include a gift shop, simple comforts, and a focus on making both residents and loved ones feel at home. Staff work to keep care community-centered and adjust things as needs change, always aiming to help people stay healthy, active, and engaged.
