Our Services & Facilities

Skilled Nursing from Strong Health

After a hospital stay for physical and/or psychological reasons, people who can no longer live independently are frequently referred to a nursing home. Nursing homes provide varying levels of care, so it's important to make sure you know exactly what you need. Because Strong Health is a community leader in geriatric medicine, we also provide superior services in two separate, 24-hour skilled nursing facilities:

• The Living Center on the Highlands at the Pittsford campus
• The Highlands at Brighton on Westfall Road in Rochester

Both nursing homes are modern, state-of-the-art communities, staffed by a team of medical professionals and others dedicated to quality care.

The Living Center at The Highlands on the Pittsford Campus

Living is the operative word here. Living well that is. Residents enjoy private and semi-private rooms, supported by certified medical staff, available 24/7, in our 122-bed community. Sponsored by Highland Hospital and part of Strong Health, The Living Center offers specialized care, hospice care, and short-term care. Busy families with seniors living at home can benefit from the Living Center's Adult Day Care program at Meadowbrook.

The Living Center at the Highlands focuses on our residents' individual needs while honoring their privacy, dignity, and desire to be as independent as possible. To learn more about us, please call 585-383-1700.
