Programs for Senior Citizens
UR Always Learning at The Highlands
Offering these interactive college level courses here at The Highlands provides our residents with the opportunity to continue to be engaged in the learning process. They bring to the courses a wealth of knowledge and experiences, which further enhances the learning experience, not only for them, but for the instructors as well. This program also keeps them involved with, and linked to, the greater Rochester community. Our residents thoroughly enjoy and appreciate this wonderful opportunity for personal growth, as they get so much from the program.”
