Mission Statement
Friendship Center preserves and enriches the quality of life for aging and dependent adults through innovative programs that value the dignity and worth of every person. We provide respite, support and education, enabling families to continue to be engaged in their community, careers and commitments.
Description
Recognition of the inherent value and worth of all people, regardless of age or diagnosis, is paramount. Everyone is treated with respect and compassion, with their dignity maintained.
Friendship Center is open 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. Each day we serve a light breakfast, full hot lunch, and afternoon snack. Members include those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, Parkinson’s, physical or cognitive disabilities, and individuals who may be socially isolated and feel more comfortable in a social and supportive setting. Days and hours of attendance can be arranged to meet individual needs.
