About Highlands Living Center

+
Highlands Living Center, located at 500 Hahnemann Trail in Pittsford, New York, is a nonprofit skilled nursing facility dedicated to delivering expert clinical care, rehabilitation, and compassionate long-term support to seniors in Monroe County and the greater Rochester region. As a nonprofit corporation, Highlands prioritizes mission over margin—every resource is directed toward the residents it serves, ensuring that clinical quality, staffing, and the overall care environment reflect genuine commitment rather than financial incentive. Skilled nursing services at Highlands Living Center encompass 24-hour nursing oversight, post-acute rehabilitation including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, wound care management, IV therapy, diabetic care, and support for residents with complex or chronic medical conditions.

Beyond healthcare, Pittsford offers a tranquil and enriching environment for residents and visiting families.
