    Touching Hearts at Home is a Rochester-based companion care services organization that provides in-home, non-medical care for seniors in Rochester and the Finger Lakes. Our mission is to empower older adults to age in place and avoid hospitalization. Our success depends on having the right caregiver in the right place at the right time.
