Maintain Your Independence with Second Family Services
Sometimes the simplest services can provide the biggest benefits when you or your loved one needs a little extra help with daily living activities. Second Family support services from Friendship Haven help people enjoy continued independence in the privacy and comfort of their on-campus home.
We’ll come to the resident’s own on-campus apartment to provide scheduled visits for personal care, medication assistance, companion and chore services.
