Mom has been living at Rochester Presbyterian Home for more than five years and continues to live her best life there. The staff are wonderful. They know her well and our family, too. She receives excellent care, has access to doctors and nurses. She enjoys socializing with residents and staff alike. She is truly loved. The staff care and it shows. It's home away from home. I am grateful that this place exists in our community. Thank you RPH!

The Rochester Presbyterian Home has been a great experience for me and my mother. The home has met all my mother needs with 24 hour care. I feel my mother is in a good and safe place. The staff and administration is great, professional, experienced in memory care and attentive to all my family and mother concerns. The RPH is open to me and my family 24 hour a day to visit or check on my mother and she always been safe and the building is secured. I think what the Rochester Presbyterian Home give me is a peace of mind in regards to my mom.

A little over two years ago, my mom - who was living independently - had a bad fall. We suddenly needed to find a new home for her that could provide a higher level of care. The first placement we found was beautiful, with all the bells and whistles. However, we soon realized the level of care there was inconsistent at best. On top of that she was very depressed over losing her apartment, and we felt we needed to be there every day to care for her. Then we found the Homestead. This is tough for me to write because mom recently passed...tough also because of the immense love and gratitude I have for The Homestead, the staff, her caregivers. Once on the second floor, mom regained her joy! The staff are truly family, a home not just for mom but for us! Especially during all the challenges of Covid. Rebecca the director is truly the most compassionate person. The staff who serve the elders here go above - and - beyond. There are no words for how grateful I am for their love and care for mom - the laughter and love they shared with her, with me! What sets this place apart from the rest is simply the love. I am forever grateful to The Homestead. Highly recommended.
