About Kirkhaven

Compassionate, Person-Centered Care.

Kirkhaven is, first and foremost, a place where people live. By embracing a philosophy of person-centered care, our assisted living and senior care community empowers individuals to direct the decisions that affect their day-to-day activities. We strive to create whole, home-like environments where residents can retain flexibility, spontaneity, and connection within the community.

Person-centered care is better care. The Core characteristics of the approach are:

  • Respecting and valuing the individual as a full member of society.
  • Providing individualized emotional and physical spaces for care that are in tune with people’s changing needs.
  • Understanding the perspective of the person in all care and activities.
  • Providing supportive opportunities for social engagement to help people live their life and experience well-being.

Located in the Park Avenue neighborhood of Rochester, NY, our nursing home and senior living community take a person-centered approach to care, focusing on the individual needs and preferences of every resident so they can live life on their own terms.
