About Us

Since 1919, Rochester Rehabilitation has been meeting the needs of people with disabilities and other disadvantages in the community. Annually, more than 5,000 people receive our services, or participate in our programs.

As Rochester continues to feel the effects of the nation’s economic distress, there is an increased need for the social, health and employment services Rochester Rehabilitation provides.

Work

More than ever, self-paced learning and job search and placement resources can assist people in their quest to return to a positive and productive life. Our Virtual Resource Center, which provides computer, Internet and software access at two program locations, has helped over 350 people explore career options, improve job skills and develop personally meaningful goals.

Wellness

To many people, wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making good choices that are in our best interests. Wellness encompasses both the mental and physical aspects of life. Whether it’s learning to play golf after a stroke, taking job training classes, or getting one’s life back on track by setting personal goals, we have the programs and resources that can help increase your wellness.

Independence

Our mission is to maximize each person’s potential to lead a full and active life by breaking down barriers to success, developing visible solutions and delivering quality services. We do this one life at a time, every day, every year.

Rochester Rehabilitation is proud to be one of the original founding partners of the Al Sigl Community of Agencies – a collaborative partnership of nonprofits committed to making a difference in the lives of people living with disabilities. We are also a United Way Donor Designated Agency.
