Arbor Terrace

Arbor Terrace gives seniors a place where they can get help with whatever they need, whether it's managing daily care like bathing or medicine, or something bigger like memory care for Alzheimer's or needing extra support after surgery, and they've really thought about making life easier by offering things like move-in help, dry cleaning, and laundry, so residents don't have to worry about those chores. The staff keeps meals ready all day and can handle special diets, so people can eat when they're hungry and not have to stick to strict times, and the dining rooms are friendly and homey, making eating feel like a regular part of the day, and if someone can't or doesn't want to leave their apartment, there's always someone around to help, and there's a 24-hour call system for emergencies. Seniors here can join a resident-run activities program where they get to plan or join in movie nights, devotional times, walking paths, gardening or painting in a dedicated arts room; sometimes they just sit together in the community rooms and talk, or they go on trips together with the transportation Arbor Terrace provides, and if a resident likes to keep up with a haircut or a shave, the onsite barber and salon services are available. The apartments come furnished and have telephones, emergency alert systems, and a steady schedule of cleaning, so living spaces stay safe and pleasant, and there are options for different needs, like bigger apartments or care suites if someone needs more help. Arbor Terrace can also offer care at many levels, whether it's independent living for folks who want privacy but still some help, or assisted living for people who might need a bit more care with dressing, transferring, or taking medicine, and there's also memory care for seniors with dementia-including programs in a special place called Cascade Creek Memory Care, where everything is set up to reduce confusion and help people feel settled-and they even have waivers for hospice and dementia care, so people facing more challenging health needs can stay. The facility uses something called the Household Model to make things feel home-like and to help residents make real connections, not just with staff, but with each other, and the atmosphere is calm and inviting, helped by the garden spaces and indoor gathering spots. There's transportation and parking, so families can visit or residents can get out for errands, and housekeepers keep things tidy on a regular schedule. Arbor Terrace works with healthcare providers, psychologists, and counselors, and helps manage medications so people get medicine on time and doctor's visits are coordinated. For families who need a break while caring for someone at home, respite care is available too, and there's also home care, so trained aides can help with non-medical needs in residents' own homes if that's a better fit. The community's recognized for friendly staff and strong dining and activities, and folks often talk about how the volunteer programs add something special to the days. Arbor Terrace is a part of the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce and has a website for those who want more details, and the facility keeps improving thanks to support from local fundraising, which helps update equipment and staff skills and keeps the community focused on health and quality of life.
