Setting a new standard in comprehensive adult care

Rochester Presbyterian Home is "one-of-a-kind." We offer the most comprehensive medical component of any of the adult homes in the Rochester area. Our medical care includes a Physician on the premises two days a week and a Physicians assistant, on the premises five days a week. We also have nurses on staff 24 hours a day 7 days a week (please see the section called "staffing" for more information). We also have more aides per resident than many other adult home in the Rochester area. We offer a very unique level of service to the Rochester area, one that fills a niche between nursing homes and home care. We are half the cost of many area nursing homes (see "Fees") and provide a more consistent, reliable, support than home care can normally provide. We also have developed a speciality in early to middle stage of dementia care for more information see section on "Alzheimer's Special Care."

The buildings that house Rochester Presbyterian Home have maintained a stately old Rochester charm. Every attempt has been made in upgrading the facilities to maintain the cultural architectural feel that has become a trademark. The dining rooms are elegant with table cloths and chandeliers. There are a variety of sitting rooms, porches and decks, living rooms with fireplaces, TV rooms, and a library to serve the reading pleasure of residents. Located on a large property, parking is no problem and the grounds provide landscaped walking spaces and sitting benches. 1997 has seen a complete renovation of all resident rooms in The Adult Living Enter. Each room is upgraded to include a private bathroom and vanity. With new professionally coordinated wall coverings, window treatments and carpets, these rooms are not only highly functional but beautiful.

Recreation

The Activities Service provides a diverse program of leisure time activities that assures a meaningful, rewarding lifestyle at RPH. Activity programs are designed to create a sense of community among residents by providing opportunities for socialization and fellowship. Activities offer opportunities for personal expression and creativity and create a positive atmosphere of expectation! Residents' families are part of our community and are invited to participate in our many recreational programs.

The Adult Living Center provides a sophisticated program designed by the residents themselves to meet the unique interests of each individual. Community outings, and in-house entertainment keeps our residents connected to the greater Rochester Community. Volunteer opportunities at the Country Store and in the Resident Council provide opportunities for vocational roles and leadership. Weaving, ceramics, painting, and art and craft workshops foster creativity and often introduce new hobbies. Health promotion and fitness programs preserve health and independence.

The Dementia Care Center offers a more structured program as part of a therapeutic routine. Residents are invited and escorted to activities and programs are adapted to maximize individual participation and insure personal success. Activities are intended to activate and motivate residents and, thus, enhance their health and preserve their independence. Walking and fitness programs, inter-generational programming, pet therapy, sing-a-long, arts and crafts, reminiscing groups as well as daily social activities highlight the recreational programming at the Dementia Care Center.
