Pinehurst Episcopal SeniorLife Communities sits at 1000 Pine Trail in Honeoye Falls, NY, right by the Genesee River, where you can look out from your apartment and sometimes catch a view of downtown Rochester too, which might remind you of its history and calm riverside days. This place belongs to Episcopal SeniorLife Communities, a faith-based nonprofit, and it operates around the clock so there's always someone nearby if you need help, and the staff's always being described as kind, supportive, and joyful, which is something you'll notice right away, especially in the common fireplace lounge where folks gather to talk and relax. The community has 68 independent living apartments, with one and two-bedroom floor plans, each one fitted with a full kitchen, good-sized closets, basic utilities like standard cable, central air, a patio or balcony, and emergency pull cords because you never know. Some apartments face the river, and you can see the gardens or the old town, and plenty of folks mention the pleasant view from the lovely back patio, which is a nice place to sit with friends or just watch nature for a while.
The care here covers nearly everything-independent living, assisted living, specialized memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and home care services with trained aides who offer companionship for folks who stay in their own apartments. There's a full calendar of health and wellness programs through the Neighborhood Program, which has things like fitness classes in the gym, cooking demonstrations in the community room, social gatherings, outings, a heated therapeutic pool and whirlpool, plus weekly classes so you can stay active without needing to leave home. There's a library if you'd rather sit with a good book, and the bistro is new, offering various meals cooked by chefs who focus on nutrition and taste, with some special diets if needed.
Memory care gets special attention, with dedicated spaces, structured routines, and trained staff to support people and help ease confusion or wandering. Pinehurst has a Community Dementia Program, and there are ties to The Episcopal Church Home and The Center for Rehabilitation, which are close by, giving priority to Pinehurst residents who might need more help or skilled nursing care down the road. You can expect social and recreation activities onsite and offsite, devotional services, a beauty shop, and outside there are walking paths and community gardens. Pinehurst allows pets, which many folks appreciate, and there are guest accommodations when friends or family visit. Housekeeping and linen services come standard, and transportation can be scheduled if you need a ride for errands or appointments. There's no smoking allowed inside.
You'll also notice programs like Service Coordination and Empire State Supportive Housing, so people get help with whatever life brings next, and the community support is described in reviews as caring and helpful, with a five-star rating and recognition from the "Best of Senior Living" awards. Each resident has access to published pricing and verified reviews, and the Senior Living Consultant can help answer questions, plus there's a virtual tour for those who want to look before moving. The Pinehurst community is meant for older adults who want relaxed, friendly, and carefree living, whether you're looking for independent living or you find you need a little more help as you age.
