Jewish Home to add 160 units, demand for senior housing high in Rochester area
'People want to remain in their community, and so to have an abundance of housing that they can choose is great for everybody,' she said.
Cook added that the city of Rochester alone has had a 64% increase in older adults in the last ten years: the highest of any city or county in the state.
She says affordable housing is the greatest need, but the addition of any new units are welcome, like Lilac Grove at the Jewish Home.
The complex has 90 rental units that are market-rate for people 62 or older. Michael King, CEO of Jewish Home, says the main appeal for these kinds of rental units is to have flexibility, connection to people their age, and close access to Jewish Home's 14 lines of services.
'If you walk out of the apartment, and need outpatient therapy or occupational therapy, you can walk out of the apartment, come over, and we can provide those services to you,' King said.
70 more independent units to the Summit at Brighton on the Jewish home campus in the next handful of years.
Cook at Lifespan says there is state funding in the proposed budget that could help, but she says this problem can't be solved by building alone.
'We help older adults to support them at home for as long as possible before they'll need to be moved into other types of housing,' she said.

No practice for James Cook on Monday
The James Cook hold-in extends to a second day. Cook won't be practicing on Monday. He didn't practice on Sunday. And, in lieu of blaming it on a real or embellished injury, Cook admitted that business considerations are keeping him from participating. The Bills have Tuesday off. They wrap up their training-camp stint on Wednesday. The overriding question is whether the Bills will make Cook an offer he'll accept. They also can fine him for refusing to practice. But that's small potatoes in comparison to the money that is on the line in a new deal. To anyone who may object to Cook not practicing, he carries the risk of injury. If he tears an ACL during a training-camp practice, he undermines his earning potential for 2026. The player's goal is to shift the injury risk to the team. To gain true financial security. The team prefers not to assume the risk of owing an injured player millions of dollars. But that's how it works. The Bills have gotten three cheap seasons from Cook. He's worth much more than the $5.2 million he's due to make this year. The Bills could, in theory, squat on his deal for 2025 and use the franchise tag in 2026. Cook, by taking a stand, is trying to keep that from happening. Hovering over the entire situation is the reality that running backs are easily replaceable. Few are truly special. Saquon Barkley. Derrick Henry. Josh Jacobs. Cook believes he's in that class. If the Bills agreed, they'd already have a deal in place. Unless the Bills simply hope they can kick the can for a year or two, keeping Cook's pay low — and keeping the injury risk on his shoulders.

Bills RB James Cook on not practicing Sunday: "Business"
With his contract dispute ongoing, Buffalo Bills running back James Cook showed up for Sunday's mandatory practice but did not participate. Instead, the 25-year-old stood off to the side and spent a short amount of time on an exercise bike. After practice, when asked why he did not participate, Cook offered just three words: "Oh, nothing. Business." Sunday marked the first time Cook did not participate since requesting a contract extension during the offseason. The two-time Pro Bowler, who shared the league lead with 16 rushing touchdowns last season, wants to become one of the highest-paid running backs in the NFL. Cook also was asked whether he was holding out or planning to suit up for Monday's practice. Again, Cook kept his response short: "Business." The Bills provided no comment on Cook, who is in the final year of his rookie contract. Cook -- who did not attend Buffalo's voluntary offseason team activities but did participate in the mandatory three-day minicamp as well as the first eight practices of training camp -- was not on the team's list of injured players leading up to Sunday's practice. Entering his fourth year in the league, Cook has put together back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. His 2,638 rushing yards are the most among his peers in the 2022 draft class. Yet he is not on the list of Bills' 2022 draftees -- wide receiver Khalil Shakir, linebacker Terrel Bernard and cornerback Christian Benford -- who have been rewarded with extensions. The Bills traded their first-round pick from that season, cornerback Kaiir Elam, to the Dallas Cowboys in March. "Sometimes you can't get on the same page or sometimes you're trying to fit it in," Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane told reporters at the start of camp. "There's times guys have left here that we really wanted. We just couldn't make it work. "But I can tell you, I'm hopeful, when we're sitting here at next year's training camp, that James Cook is out there practicing and still representing the red, white and blue." --FIeld Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

James Cook sits out Bills' practice Sunday, calls it "business"
Bills running back James Cook has made it known he wants a contract extension, and he skipped the team's voluntary offseason workouts to express his displeasure at not having one. Cook, though, attended the mandatory minicamp and fully participated in the first eight practices of training camp. On Sunday, he rested. Cook did not participate in practice for the first time during camp, watching from the side in street clothes and spending time on an exercise bicycle. 'Oh, nothing,' Cook said, via Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN. 'Business.' Cook also answered 'business' when asked whether he was holding in and about whether he planned to practice Monday. The Bills had no comment on Cook's non-participation, per Getzenberg, and Cook was not included in coach Sean McDermott's list of injured players sitting out Sunday's session. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the sides have engaged in talks and are 'not . . . that far apart.' Cook wants to be paid like one of the top running backs in the league after making $4.257 million for his first three seasons. He is due to make $5.271 million in base salary this season in the final year of his rookie deal. Cook, a second-round pick in 2022, has rushed for 2,638 yards and 20 touchdowns in his career. The two-time Pro Bowler also has caught 97 passes for 883 yards with seven touchdowns. The Bills extended the contracts of cornerback Christian Benford, defensive end Greg Rousseau, linebacker Terrel Bernard and wide receiver Khalil Shakir this offseason. Cook insinuated on social media early in the offseason that he was looking for $15 million a season. Saquon Barkley ($20.6 million per season), Christian McCaffrey ($19 million) and Derrick Henry ($15 million) are the only running backs making at least that much per season.
