Overview of Laurelwood at the Highlands

Laurelwood at the Highlands sits on Hahnemann Trail in Pittsford, Monroe County, sharing a campus with Highlands Living Center, a larger care community that occupies the same grounds. Operated by Highland Community Development Corp., Laurelwood itself is licensed as an enriched housing program with 75 beds and an assisted living designation. The surrounding neighborhood scores a 64 on walkability, landing it in moderately walkable range where some errands are reachable on foot but a car handles most.

The care side is straightforward: licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants are on site, and rehabilitation services are available. Dining stands out a little; residents have access to two on-site restaurants rather than a single dining room, which gives the mealtime experience more flexibility than most 75-bed communities can offer.

Regulatory oversight falls to the New York Department of Health’s Office of Aging and Long Term Care. Inspection findings have centered on medication management and care planning and documentation.

The picture here is defined primarily by what the care structure and setting confirm: a mid-size enriched housing program in a campus environment, with licensed nursing, on-site rehabilitation, and a two-restaurant dining arrangement in a moderately walkable Pittsford neighborhood.
