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.
