Overview of Cirrus Manor Residential Center

Cirrus Manor Residential Center is a 200-bed assisted living community operated by Cirrus Manor Residential Center, LLC on Culver Road in Rochester, Monroe County. The neighborhood earns a Walk Score of 39, which lands it in somewhat walkable territory, so a few things are reachable on foot, but most trips out need a car.

The care list is substantive; there’s around-the-clock staffing and nursing services are in place, along with rehabilitation, therapy, personal care support, in-house medical care, and medication assistance. Respite care is available, which gives families a short-term option without committing to permanent placement. Meals run three times daily from a home-style, seasonal menu put together by a registered dietician; which is a more considered approach to food service than most adult homes of this size offer. Monthly planned activities round out the programming.

Regulatory oversight falls to the New York Department of Health’s Office of Aging and Long Term Care.

For older adults in Rochester’s Monroe County who need a large assisted living setting with full-day nursing coverage, on-site therapy, and dietician-supervised meals, Cirrus Manor Residential Center offers that combination in a community with respite access and a car-friendly location on the city’s east side.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Rochester, NY

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New York?

Assisted living in New York supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New York?

Assisted living in New York is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does New York Medicaid cover assisted living?

New York Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New York) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 14 assisted living facilities in Rochester, NY. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Rochester, NY?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Rochester, NY, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Rochester, NY?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
