This week, our Community Outreach Committee led a fundraiser for Saint’s Place, a charity based in Pittsford that assists refugee families in need. Our fundraiser was for a family from Afghanistan.
We are so happy to have raised $1,485 which allowed us to get everything on our family’s wish list, and much more!
We also conducted a children’s sock drive.

Saint’s Place has served over 16,000 refugees since it was founded in 1998.
Last month, we were very excited to break ground on the Memory Care Neighborhood at Laurelwood. The neighborhood will consist of eight Assisted Living apartment homes, an open kitchen with a dining table, and a dedicated living room.

The Memory Care Neighborhood is an addition to the existing Laurelwood Assisted Living building. Memory Care residents will be highly integrated with the greater Laurelwood community, including sharing meals in the Laurelwood Dining Room.
There’s So Much To Do at The Highlands
The Laurelwood Life Enrichment Team is busy creating an extensive activities plan for our Memory Care residents. It is our goal for all residents to live at their highest personal potential and to Enjoy Life! Activities take place throughout each day, in the evenings, and on weekends. Residents of The Highlands are as busy as they want to be!
