History
In October, 1998, we celebrated the grand opening of St. John's Meadows, a beautiful new residential community offering a variety of lifestyle choices to Rochester's seniors. St. John's Meadows offers 339 homes in its continuum of care, ranging from private, 2-bedroom cottages to apartments with meals and services. If you or a friend or family member have started a search for a warm, modern and secure senior living environment, you owe it to yourself to take a tour of St. John's Meadows. St. John's Meadows is managed by someone you trust: St. John's Senior Communities, and is affiliated with St. John's Home. Since 1899, St. John's Home has provided health care and housing services to Rochester's seniors.
