|  | As early as 1958, Cedar Community caregivers were identifying unique approaches to assisting residents facing progressive memory loss and the disease which would later become known as Alzheimer's. In 1976, the concept of providing specialized care for those facing early- to mid-stage Alzheimer's disease and related dementia was formalized with the construction of Friendship House.
Friendship House Assisted Living combines the care of attentive, specially-trained staff 24 hours a day, seven days per week with a secure and soothing environment. Private bedrooms are arranged around a central dining area, kitchen and living room, with wide hallways and rooms that are easy to recognize and navigate. A secure courtyard enables residents to enjoy fresh air, gardens and grass. Cookies baking in the common kitchen, popcorn and movies in the living room, the resident's own furnishings, engaging activities and intimate spaces all help create a soothing, home-like atmosphere.
Those needing skilled care transition to Cedar Cove, a skilled nursing unit with similar décor located within the same building as Friendship House. Throughout the resident's stay, one-to-one relationships with staff members make the difference, helping to build family members' confidence that their loved ones are in good hands.
