At the present time, over five million Americans are struggling with Alzheimer’s or some form of dementia. This number is expected to grow exponentially over the next five to ten years.
In light of these statistics, one of the major challenges a family can face is finding trustworthy care for a parent or loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia. It can be difficult to find a community or home that not only provides quality care but also an environment that helps individuals reach their highest potential while preserving their dignity.
Dignity
We believe that every person has an innate right to be valued and receive ethical treatment. This is especially true for those who suffer from the disease process of dementia. We feel strongly that they are very worthy, and we honor them as if they were family.
Respect
Every person is a unique individual and inherently deserving of our respect. At Friendly Horizons we base our care on a foundation of respect for our residents and their families and for ourselves as individuals. We strive to help our residents maintain a positive feeling of esteem.
