| Our Care Philosophy |
| |
| Friendship Village’s service philosophy is based on respect for older adults and their right to make choices. Our housing options are designed so that residents can live at their highest levels of independence possible for as long as possible. |
|
| In all levels of our care continuum: Independent, Assisted Living, Memory Care and Skilled Nursing, residents are provided social, cultural and educational activities along with a wide variety of special amenities. There’s always something happening around our community. |
|
| In our Independent Apartments, residents live independently and enjoy a life free of household chores and maintenance duties. Meals, transportation and a wonderful array of social opportunities are available. |
|
| Our Ridgewood Assisted Living residents enjoy these same freedoms. But they also get 24-hour assistance with daily living when needed. Bathing, dressing, grooming and medication reminders are provided by a staff of caring, trained professionals. Breakfast is delivered to each resident in the comfort of his or her own apartment. Two other delicious meals are served daily in our dining room. Activities are provided every day so there are plenty of opportunities to socialize. |
|
| Short-term respite stays can also be arranged as availability allows. |
|
| Our Ridgewood Terrace Memory Care residents are also encouraged to live at their highest level of independence. Here, we provide a secure setting and specialized care for residents experiencing early to mid-stages of Alzheimers or dementia. Our professionally trained staff are available 24-hours a day to work with residents when they are at their most active. |
|
| Skilled Care Nursing Center residents are provided with intermediate and skilled nursing care. The center is certified for Medicare and Medicaid and Friendship Village residents have priority access should the need arise. Individuals desiring short-term visits to recuperate from hospital stays will find outstanding rehabilitative care. Friendship Village is one of the few communities in Central Ohio featuring VitalStim Therapy, a highly specialized treatment to aid in recovering swallowing functions. |
