We Care for You
The Gafney Home is one of the most magnificent historical Victorian mansions in Rochester with beautiful grounds and amenities. It was built for Judge Charles Gafney and his wife Ida, in the late 1800’s. After their deaths, Judge Gafney trustees decided to establish this home for the residence and care of older men and women. The first three residents came on September 12, 1904.
The Gafney Home is governed by a Board of Directors and a Board of Managers which ensured that throughout the years, with diligence and careful planning, the Gafney Home has remained one of the most successful assisted living homes in the community.
Membership and Eligibility
We have only one membership plan for all, which is a fee-for-service, meaning that the price is based on a monthly payment.
