Overall Review of Jewish Home of Rochester

common 9 reviews mention this

Rehab and therapy get mixed marks

Rehabilitation care and therapy are described as thorough in many stays, but some residents report missed or limited therapy time.

Many reviews describe strong physical and occupational therapy support, including people highlighting PT and OT as a standout part of rehab. Several families also mention recovery-focused help such as safe transfers and strength-building guidance. At the same time, a subset of reviews say promised therapy schedules did not happen, leaving limited therapy sessions during a stay. Some residents also describe difficulty getting the help they needed as they moved between meals and bathroom needs.

common 11 reviews mention this

Dining is often praised

Meals are frequently described as good, though a few reviews call the food unappetizing.

Food comes up repeatedly in positive reviews, with residents or families describing good meals and enjoying eating again. Reviews also mention the dining room as a pleasant place to be during a stay or visit. The negatives are more limited, but there are also reviews that describe meals as disgusting or criticize how often the same food is served. One review also suggests the food could be improved based on a resident’s complaints.

Cleanliness stands out, but not always

Residents and families often mention cleanliness and upkeep, while a smaller number report unclean conditions.

Several reviews directly praise cleanliness, describing a clean environment, clean rooms, and a facility that feels well kept. Others describe bright, well-cared-for spaces like dining areas and common areas. However, there are also reviews that describe dirty conditions, including a bad smell, and one review that says the facility was unclean. A few negative reviews also mention safety or maintenance problems that go beyond cleanliness.

caveat 8 reviews mention this

Staffing and responsiveness concerns

Some reviews say staffing levels affect how quickly residents get help, especially with bathing, toileting, and emergency needs.

A recurring concern in multiple reviews is that there were not enough aides or that help could be slow, particularly for toileting, bathing, and responding to call lights. Some reviews go further, describing rude or neglectful care, including delays in assisting with restroom needs and concerns about safety. Others mention that therapy staffing or overall staffing affected whether schedules were followed. Even in reviews that are generally positive, one suggestion is to add more aides or nurses to improve day-to-day coverage.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Value feels too expensive

Multiple reviews describe pricing as very expensive, with concerns about what families received for the cost.

Several reviewers explicitly describe the overall cost as very expensive and name it as a key drawback. One review cites a daily rate and says the level of service did not match what was needed after a service mismatch, which contributed to disappointment. Another review mentions a hefty bill even after the resident felt care promises were not met. A few reviews also reference expense as more than they could handle or as not worth the price given care concerns.
