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

We love our animal friends here at the Friendly Home! They bring so much happiness and cheer, contentment and peace, laughter and love. Whether it's listening to our brightly-colored birds sing a beautiful song from our Aviary, our lively fish swimming lazily along in our aquariums or our mascot, "Meatball" the bunny, munching away at a treat, we are reminded of the true beauty and gifts of nature and are thankful! πŸ¦πŸ πŸ‡

Back to school and backpacks were the order of the day recently at Cloverwood Senior Living! All participants had a fabulous, fun-filled day that included creating backpacks filled to the brim with much-needed school supplies that will go to support children at School #45 in Rochester! A special luncheon was also enjoyed by resident participants! Winston Churchill said it best: "We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give." πŸŽ’βœοΈπŸ«
