Dunn Tower II sits on ten well-kept acres in a quiet, attractive part of Rochester, NY, and you'll notice there's a big, easy-to-spot bus stop right at the door and fast access to the expressway, so getting to medical offices, shops, restaurants, or even a church for Sunday service can be done without a fuss, especially since the place stands within walking distance of much of what you might need. The retirement community serves seniors 62 and older or younger adults over 18 with mobility or physical disabilities, and the apartments here have features for safety and comfort, like grab bars in the bathrooms, emergency pull cords in bedrooms and bathrooms, carpeted floors, and braille markings in the elevators, plus a front door intercom, closed-circuit TV security, an emergency generator, and smoke-free air throughout-even on the balconies.
This building's got 24-hour on-site maintenance and excellent security, and if you take a walk through, you might notice a laundry room, trash chutes on each floor, and modern, all-electric kitchens in the apartments, many with self-defrosting fridges, as well as basic cable TV and quiet heat and smoke detectors. There's also an "I'm Okay" Program to check on residents, and a tenant coordinator visits weekly to lend an ear or offer help. Dunn Tower II offers optional independent living support and has assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing as needs change, so a person doesn't have to worry as much about the future. Respite care is also on the table for short-term relief if a caregiver needs a rest.
The folks running the place, The ElderPages, have made sure that people staying here don't just sit in their rooms all day, as there's a lunch program running several times a week, transportation to Wegmans and Gates Town Hall Senior Program, plus weekly deliveries from Foodlink and prescription services, and even trips to wellness clinics. Residents can fill their days with activities like Bingo, luncheons, dinners, and nice picnics outside when the weather's right, and there are plenty of recreational options nearby for seniors who like to keep busy.
Nearly everything seems aimed at helping people stay safe and comfortable while keeping friendships strong and the days enjoyable, which is handy if you like a bit of routine, since there's always something on the calendar-be it learning, social events, or something fun-and the staff is trained, friendly, and quick to help out if you need anything, which really matters to folks who want help but still value their independence and dignity. Hours of operation run weekdays from the morning until mid-afternoon, and the county covers the area for these services, so folks get the help they need right where they are.
