History

St. Ann’s Community is Rochester’s leading senior housing and health services provider, with a tradition of quality care for older adults that began over 140 years ago.

We were founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1873 as a ministry of service. Today we provide a complete continuum of care for seniors, offering everything from independent living to 24-hour skilled nursing.

St. Ann’s Community is one of Rochester’s largest private employers, with over 1,200 employees who are caring for the most important people on earth. Our philosophy of Person-Centered Care means that each member of our community experiences life fully in a place filled with warmth, compassion and love.
