Weather permitting a patio area is used for outdoor dining and visiting with friends and relatives. Residents enjoy celebrating birthdays and holidays together.

Our Health Services and Rehabilitation Center offers an array of rehabilitation services, short-term health care for individuals recovering from illness or injury, long-term care for individuals who are especially frail or needing nursing care for longer periods. Palliative care, specialized medical care for people with serious illness, is provided with the goal to improve the quality of life for both the healthcare user and family. When needed, hospice and end-of-life care is also available.

Our community is Medicare / Medi-Cal certified and open to the public. Friends House professional staff members are caring, compassionate, and available around-the-clock, seven days a week. What really sets the health care center at Friends House apart is our philosophy of providing services and personal care that are tailored to individual needs. Our goal is to help each person return to their highest level of function in a comforting, relaxing environment.

Personal Care Plan

Generally, individuals come to the Health Services and Rehabilitation Center directly after a hospital stay. Within our Rehabilitation Center, our licensed nursing staff and team of therapists work with each resident to develop a Personal Care Plan tailored to their individual healthcare needs, and to assist them in achieving their highest level of function and best quality of life.

“We help people get back to living their lives the way they want to.”
