Best Assisted Living for Seniors in the Rochester NY area

Posted by SusanKeefe on 12/09/2008

This is an attractive, well-decorated senior facility located in the heart of the City of Rochester. RPH operates under the "Eden" philosophy that believes all people need to be among living things and to be treated with respect, regardless of their mental or physical condition. Staff is well-trained and friendly. Every part of the building and grounds are spotlessly clean and well-maintained. There are numerous activities every day and many field trips off the property. Well-balanced, attractive meals are served in a formal dining rooom with linens and floral arrangements on the tables. The facility has separate units for self-sufficient seniors, those with some dementia, and seniors whose dementia is quite advanced. Residents must be sufficiently mobile to get out of bed and walk with a cane or walker in order to live there. All rooms have half-baths and showers and whirlpools are spotlessly clean and have sturdy safety bars. Seniors with memory problems and behavioral issues (as long as they are not a danger to themselves or others) will be safely and kindly cared for here. The neighnborhood is an older one, in places not well-maintained. The RPH campus is extremely safety-conscious and I am perfectly comfortable having my frail 93-year-old father living there. The facility has all the features of similar more costly suburban residences, with a special "homey" feeling. We are grateful to have found such an ideal setting for my dad.
