The Rochester Psychiatric Center has been a beacon of mental health services to the greater Rochester community for over 125 years. It offers specialized inpatient care along with a comprehensive range of supportive outpatient services, ensuring adequate care for all individuals regardless of their financial status. The center operates with a mission to provide recovery-oriented services in a secure environment, partnering with patients and their families. Rochester Psychiatric Center provides a multidisciplinary approach which encompasses affiliations with local educational and research institutions, like the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Strong Memorial Hospital. This enables the center to fuse education, clinical care, and research, offering high-quality psychiatric treatment. While maintaining necessary security due to its forensic unit, the center strives to assure a therapeutic and safe environment for its patients. The Rochester Psychiatric Center is located conveniently near the intersection of South Ave and Elmwood Ave, just minutes from the NYS Thruway. The facility adheres to regulated visiting hours, allowing family members and friends to visit patients within specified times to maintain security and routine. For those unable to visit during the designated hours, alternative arrangements can be coordinated with the treatment team. Understanding its duty as a mental health facility, Rochester Psychiatric Center incorporates principles that ensure patient-centric treatment, emphasizing privacy as much as possible. Security is integrated with treatment to achieve a balanced approach in catering to the needs of those who have been or are involved with the criminal justice system.
