For many older adults, the dream is simple: to remain in the comfort of their own home for as long as possible. This concept, known as “aging in place,” is about more than just staying put—it’s about maintaining independence, safety, and quality of life.
“Aging in place” means staying in the comfort of your own home while enjoying the support, services, and social opportunities that help you live life to the fullest.
If you live in Rochester, NY, you’re in luck. Our city offers a wealth of resources, services, and community support that make it an ideal place to age in place with confidence and comfort.
A Supportive, Vibrant Community for Seniors
Rochester’s strong sense of community is one of its greatest strengths. The city boasts a wide network of organizations and programs dedicated to supporting older adults—whether through healthcare, home modifications, social activities, or simply lending a helping hand.
From neighborhood block events to volunteer-led programs, seniors here are never far from connection.
Organizations like Lifespan provide guidance, advocacy, and over 30 essential services for older adults and caregivers. They provide training and education for allied professionals and the community.
GRAPE on the other hand, brings together elder care professionals and resources to keep residents informed and supported. They also provide comprehensive information about services in the Greater Rochester area for older adults and caregivers.
Quality Healthcare and Wellness Services
Rochester is home to a wide range of quality healthcare options—major hospital systems, specialty clinics, rehabilitation centers, and home health providers that cater specifically to older adults.
Healthcare systems like Rochester Regional Health and UR Medicine provides a wide array of services and programs specifically designed to support senior citizens.
Rochester Regional Health offer home care, memory care, and a program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) called ElderONE, among other resources
UR Medicine’s Older Adult Services outpatient clinic works together with families and individuals to provide specialized mental health care for our community’s aging population, 65 years and older.
Organizations like Together in Caring and Aging Well Rochester provide personalized geriatric care management to help individuals navigate complex health needs with confidence.
Together In Caring’s staff of certified Aging Life Care Experts has helped countless older adults and their families navigate different challenges and enable individuals to live their highest quality of life, while Aging Well Rochester have the answers to your tough questions and the knowledge about services to help elders with medical issues, Alzheimer’s Disease or memory loss live safely and comfortably.
For seniors living with spinal cord injuries or related mobility concerns, the Rochester Spinal Association plays a vital role in enhancing quality of life. Their programs and services offer support, information, and resources not only to individuals with spinal cord disabilities, but also to their families, caregivers, and healthcare providers. This kind of specialized support ensures that older adults with spinal care needs can remain active, connected, and empowered while aging in place.
Rich Opportunities for Social Connection, Inclusion and Accessibility
Organizations such as Endless Highway and Rochester Accessible Adventures make recreation and travel more accessible, empowering individuals with mobility limitations to enjoy sports, events, and experiences they might have thought were out of reach.
Endless Highway creates inclusive opportunities for youth, adults and seniors who use mobility devices by closing the adaptive equipment gap and collaborating with community partners.
Rochester Accessible Adventures on the other hand is changing how people with disabilities access health and wellness! They exist to reshape places where inclusion isn’t happening, to empower these spaces to operate with full inclusion of people with and without disabilities whenever their doors are open for business.
These efforts not only encourage active living but also foster a strong sense of community connection.
In addition, groups like Catholic Charities provide vital social and support programs—from friendly visitor services to community events—ensuring that older adults stay connected to others and have access to the help they need when they need it.
Together, these resources highlight Rochester’s dedication to creating an environment where seniors can thrive socially, feel included, and fully participate in the life of the city.
