Church Home of the Protestant Episcopal Church

Nestled along Mt. Hope Avenue in one of Rochester's most storied and vibrant corridors, Church Home of the Protestant Episcopal Church has stood as a pillar of compassionate skilled nursing care for generations. Located in the heart of the South Wedge neighborhood at 505 Mt. Hope Avenue, this nonprofit community is ideally situated for residents and families who value both quality care and meaningful connection to the city around them. The community sits just steps from Highland Park, Rochester's beloved 150-acre green space renowned for its annual Lilac Festival and sweeping seasonal beauty — a cherished destination for gentle walks and family visits. The historic Mt. Hope Cemetery, one of America's first municipal cemeteries and a landmark of Victorian landscape design, borders the property and offers a serene, parklike atmosphere. Residents and families also benefit from immediate proximity to Strong Memorial Hospital and the University of Rochester Medical Center, two of the region's most respected healthcare institutions, ensuring seamless coordination of complex medical needs. For families visiting loved ones, the South Wedge neighborhood offers a warm, walkable community with independent restaurants, coffee shops, and local boutiques along South Avenue. Genesee Valley Park, with its riverside trails and open meadows, is just minutes away, and Wegmans — Rochester's iconic hometown grocer — provides convenient access to fresh food and everyday essentials nearby. As a nonprofit corporation, Church Home operates with a mission-driven commitment rather than a profit motive, channeling resources directly into resident care, staffing quality, and community programming. The Episcopal heritage of the organization brings a tradition of dignity, hospitality, and whole-person wellness to every aspect of daily life. Skilled nursing services at Church Home are designed to support residents with complex medical conditions, post-acute rehabilitation needs, and long-term care requirements. The interdisciplinary care team works closely with Strong Memorial and Highland Hospital specialists to provide coordinated, medically attentive support in a setting that feels genuinely like home. Families throughout Monroe County and the greater Rochester area trust Church Home for its longstanding reputation, its community roots, and its steadfast dedication to caring for Rochester's seniors with grace and professionalism.
