Choice in Routine

You have a voice in your daily schedule, ensuring your preferences guide your care.

Skill Maintenance

Through purposeful, hands-on tasks, we help maintain cognitive and physical abilities, fostering long-term wellness.

Customized Engagement

Activities are tailored to your interests and abilities, guaranteeing meaningful participation every day.

It’s not just care, it’s a way of life.

Montessori Inspired Lifestyle is a person-centered environment where all residents have the opportunity to:

  • Know their neighbors
  • Care for each other
  • Collaborate with caregivers
  • Connect to families and outside communities
  • Maintain independence

The Montessori Method, traditionally known for its educational approach, is profoundly impactful in the care of aging adults.

It focuses on daily, purposeful, hands-on experiences that build confidence and foster independence—the core values of life at Friends Home.
