Laurelwood Memory Care Groundbreaking

Last month, we were very excited to break ground on the Memory Care Neighborhood at Laurelwood. The neighborhood will consist of eight Assisted Living apartment homes, an open kitchen with a dining table, and a dedicated living room.

The Memory Care Neighborhood is an addition to the existing Laurelwood Assisted Living building. Memory Care residents will be highly integrated with the greater Laurelwood community, including sharing meals in the Laurelwood Dining Room.

There’s So Much To Do at The Highlands

The Laurelwood Life Enrichment Team is busy creating an extensive activities plan for our Memory Care residents. It is our goal for all residents to live at their highest personal potential and to Enjoy Life! Activities take place throughout each day, in the evenings, and on weekends. Residents of The Highlands are as busy as they want to be!

Holiday Card To The Highlands Staff

Purpose / independent living, senior living

As this unusual year comes to a close, the staff was heartened to receive the following card from Cottage residents Midge and Joel.

12-15-2020
Dear Staff,
Joel and I wish to thank all of you for incredible efforts to help us through this difficult year. We have loved the little “treats” on special occasions, e.g. Mother’s & Father’s Day & the 4th of July , the Ice Cream Truck’s appearance, pumpkins and the decorations at different times of the year. I know this isn’t a complete list but they all give us delight.
We appreciate the friendly and patient people at the front desk as well as security and the maintenance people and the cleaners who competently help us while always being kind and friendly; the dining staff who deal with our (sometimes) crazy orders or grumpy responses and the chefs who create delicious meals; and those of you who try to keep us involved and sane with the many programs that you plan, the videos for exercise, the many lectures – all of which we can still access while in this crazy Covid situation. We can joke & laugh with you and know you care.
We know there are many others behind the scenes who we don’t interact with and our apologies for not mentioning you, but this includes you too.

To all of you: Your generosity of spirit is what makes The Highlands at Pittsford the special place that it is.

THANK YOU ALL.
Very sincerely, Midge & Joel
