Friendship Adult Day Care Center
Where Dignity and Safety Coexist
At Friendship Center, we believe every day is a gift. Our welcoming community provides personalized day care programs for adults living with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, other forms of dementia, and related conditions. We create a vibrant space where individuals can thrive and enjoy a fulfilling life.
Always Something to Do at the Center
Life is never dull around here! When we’re not engaging in stimulating activities and workshops, we’re exploring the beauty of nature, putting on a community-building fundraiser, or celebrating holidays and life’s milestones, past and present, together.
