What is Enhanced Assisted Living?

An Enhanced Assisted Living Residence (EALR) is an Assisted Living Residence that has an additional certification from the New York State Department of Health that permits assisted living residents to “age in place.” Residents receive a substantially higher level of care than provided in traditional assisted living, bridging the gap between assisted living and a skilled nursing facility. Services may include diabetic management, physical assistance with ambulation and transfers, incontinence management and assistance with other complex medical issues and equipment.

Why St. John’s Enhanced Assisted Living ?

Everyone wants to live as independently as possible for as long as possible. However, eventually, we all need a little help. Not with everything, but here and there during the day. St. John’s Enhanced Assisted Living  in Rochester, NY is a safe, supportive, cost-effective option for those wishing to age “at home.” Also called “the Hawthorne,” St. John’s enhanced assisted living services are provided at St. John’s Meadows within 38 one-bedroom apartments where residents enjoy fine dining three times daily, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry and linen service, transportation, and much more.

With St. John’s Enhanced Assisted Living, you or your loved one can enjoy a higher level of care than traditional assisted living programs, bridging the gap that often exists between this level of service and skilled nursing facilities—all at a fraction of the cost of that higher level of care and in the greater Rochester, NY area.
