Overview of St. Ann’s Community

Rochester, NY, is where St. Ann’s Community runs eight care types. Nursing home care, skilled nursing, adult day care, and assisted living are four, and independent living, memory care, hospice care, and palliative care complete the list.

Independent living pairs a private home with community services and leaves daily care out. Assisted living residents keep an apartment, and staff take charge of bathing, dressing, and medication. Residents facing the risk of wandering live in the memory care area, which is kept secure under supervision. For clinical needs that keep going, the nursing home and skilled nursing levels supply licensed nurses.

Adult day care is care by day, with the night spent at home. Hospice care serves those in the final phase of life. Palliative care relieves symptoms and the discomfort that treatment brings. Staying in one community while care needs shift is the appeal, and the range here is built for exactly that.

At 376 beds, the community is high-capacity, and a building of that size usually brings a larger population, a bigger staff, and more programming. The staffing record shows 4h 38m of nursing per resident each day. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted.

The neighborhood is East Irondequoit, and at 37, its Walk Score marks it as car-dependent, with errands mostly made by car. St. Ann’s Home for the Aged operates it. Residents may keep a pet there.
