Friendly Senior Living

Friendly Senior Living Friendly Senior Living is a continuum of caring communities - Cloverwood, Friendly Home, Glenmere, Lily Brook, Linden Knoll, and Lovejoy.

Because friends care ... Always. In 1849, a group of benevolent women formed the "Rochester Society for the Relief of Friendless and Homeless Females." As the Society grew, an old tavern was purchased on the corner of East Avenue and Alexander Street in downtown Rochester for its new location. The Society was then incorporated under the name "The Rochester Home for the Friendless." As the mission of the organization evolved and the need for services increased, the Home moved to its current location at 3156 East Avenue in Brighton, and became known as "The Rochester Friendly Home." Later, the name changed to simply "The Friendly Home," as it is known today. Although our name has changed over the years, the sentiments and philosophy that first inspired the original Society have remained constant. From an organization that sheltered homeless women to an organization that is committed to providing a continuum of care to older adults, The Friendly Home has always been dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of those we serve

Yesterday, we gathered to celebrate Veterans Day and pay tribute to the courageous men and women who have served our country. One of the most moving moments was hearing the Star-Spangled Banner beautifully played on the piano, filling the room with pride and gratitude.

We are grateful to all our veterans for their service and sacrifice. Take a look at the photos to relive this heartfelt moment with us!
