There’s So Much To Do Here

Captivating lectures, wine pairing dinners, trips to the RPO with transportation provided, musical performances at the Community Center, computer classes, the annual Fashion Show fundraiser…we could go on!

Lifelong Learning

Learning is a key component of senior wellness. Our exclusive lectures, taught by professors and staff members of our affiliate, The University of Rochester, bring world class learning right to your door. Spend an afternoon hearing stories of Pearl S. Buck’s fascinating life or take part in a biology lab. In addition to the lectures and labs, highly interactive cooking classes are offered throughout the year and are another favorite among Highlands residents

“I’m an engineer, so I never had the joy of taking courses in music and literature and history and art. Now, I’m learning that there’s another whole world out there of wonderful things.” ~ Les M.

The Highlands also invites members of the public to lectures and educational events as part of the “UR in Tune”, “UR Always Learning”, and “To Your Health” lecture series.

“I’m busier than I ever thought I would be and it’s just a pleasure…” ~ Albert S.

Fitness

The Wellness Center is a fitness, health, and social hub. Outdoors, the winding pathways and tree-lined streets of the campus provide residents with the perfect environment for exercising in the fresh air. Keep your short game sharp on the putting green in the center of campus. Take a stroll to the Village of Pittsford or the shops at Schoen Place, ride your bike along the Erie Canal. Work out in the Exercise Class 6 times per week, try out our Tai Chi class on Saturday mornings, or take an Aquatics Class in the pool. Exercise options abound year round at The Highlands.
