Luxury living, wellness, and connection at The Highlands

THE HIGHLANDS AT PITTSFORD

About The Highlands at Pittsford

Thirty years ago, The Highlands at Pittsford was one of the first independent and assisted living communities in the country to offer a blended lifestyle of luxury accommodations, lifelong learning, whole-person wellness, and multiple levels of care–all on one campus. Today, a vibrant population of people highly engaged with life and one another call The Highlands at Pittsford home.

As we look toward the future, we are embracing the dynamic needs and aspirations of the Baby Boomer generation, fostering an environment that promotes independence, person-centered wellness, and meaningful connections. With an ongoing commitment to innovation and individual engagement, The Highlands remains at the forefront of retirement living, with the objective that each resident has the opportunity to live life to the fullest, surrounded by a supportive, vibrant community.

From Andy Trepanier, Executive Director

Hi, I’m Andy Trepanier, the Executive Director of The Highlands at Pittsford. I believe senior living should be about far more than just where you live. It should be about how you live life to the fullest.

At The Highlands, our mission is to create an inclusive community where every person feels welcomed, valued, connected, and inspired to live with purpose. Through our WELLBeing philosophy, we support the whole person by encouraging meaningful relationships, lifelong learning, active living, and opportunities to grow, explore, and stay engaged every day.

One example of that is our Perk Up program. What began as a simple coffee gathering has grown into a meaningful way for residents to connect, build friendships, and create a true sense of community.

As we look to the future, we’re committed to continually enhancing the resident experience through thoughtful programs, inviting spaces—indoors and out, and opportunities that help people live richer, more fulfilling lives.

If you’re considering senior living, I invite you to visit The Highlands. Meet our residents, experience our WELLBeing Program, and discover the warmth, energy, and sense of community that make The Highlands at Pittsford such a special place.
