Our Professional Team of Caregivers Is Second to None
It takes talented and compassionate individuals to choose a career in senior living, and Friends House Retirement Community cultivates talent and compassion among all the staff and volunteers. Staff at our highly acclaimed Life Plan Community recognize and value the wealth of experience and wisdom our elders bring to the campus. In turn, Friends House recognizes the huge impact our team members have, not just our residents’ experiences but on the lives of their families and the community at large.
Working at Friends House is a rewarding experience that employees benefit from emotionally and mentally as well as financially. Here, residents’ lives are marked by opportunities for lifelong learning, social and cultural events, and meaningful contributions facilitated by resident-run committees and our dedicated staff. Friends House team members come to know residents and their families, and they become a vital part of an enriching community lifestyle. We have also introduced a Montessori Inspired Living program involving all our staff, residents, and resident families. Friends House has been awarded a Bronze Level facility credential from the Center for Applied Research in Dementia (CARD).
As a respected center of health and a trusted senior living resource for older adults around Montgomery County and beyond, Friends House is able to provide an excellent can [need to write this out] training program as well as exciting internship opportunities to students and volunteers. Additionally, our organization offers many chances for donations or mutually beneficial partnerships with local businesses and other nonprofit entities.
As you consider becoming involved in any capacity with Friends House – as a resident or family member, a funder, a staff member or volunteer, or as a partner and friend – we invite you to come in and tour our beautiful campus.
Friends House Retirement Community is delighted to honor Wede Wesley-Moses, our exceptional Charge Nurse, who has been a vital part of our team for over 14 years. With 28 years of experience in the field, Wede’s dedication and compassion shine through in all she does.
Wede looks up to Jesus Christ and Florence Nightingale as her personal heroes and lives by the inspirational quote, “Love Your Neighbor and treat others as you would want to be treated.” This guiding principle is evident in her daily contributions at Friends House, where she manages the nursing team, ensuring effective operations while delegating tasks and resident assignments. Her favorite part of the day is the interaction and communication with residents, family members, and other team members, fostering a warm and supportive environment.
Wede’s purpose is to serve and care, creating a comfortable and loving environment for everyone she meets, regardless of their abilities. She finds fulfillment in the shared love and care among residents and their families, noting the frequent visits and even overnight stays by family members. Friends House’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion fosters a true sense of belonging, making residents feel valued and involved in the community.
Outside of work, Wede enjoys evangelism, sharing the good news, cooking for health and relaxation, and gardening to improve concentration, reduce stress, get exercise, and soak up Vitamin D.
