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

The Friendly Home was filled with the sounds of the season this week as our Friendly Folk Singers shared holiday cheer.

Here’s a short clip of our Members singing “Jingle Bells,” capturing the warmth, connection, and joy of Sounds of the Season — celebrated with family and friends.

On this Christmas Eve, we hope it brings a little extra joy to your day.

We extend our deepest gratitude to longtime volunteer Mike Adams for a truly remarkable gift. Mike generously donated 47 leatherbound classic literature books to the Lily Brook library, enriching the lives of our Residents and opening new doors for connection, discovery, and joy through reading.

Mike has shared his time, energy, and heart with us for many years. His dedication continues to have a profoundly meaningful impact on our community, and this donation is yet another testament to his generosity and commitment to lifelong learning.

Thank you, Mike, for your ongoing service and for helping create a warm, vibrant place for Residents to learn and grow. We are honored and grateful for your support.

Joy and music filled the halls this week at Glenmere, our assisted living and memory care community.
