The Friends House Medicare Certified Health Care Unit with 24 hour nursing care accommodates 34 residents in four private rooms and fifteen semi-private rooms. It is open to anyone, not just residents of Friends House. Residents include those requiring skilled short-term nursing care and rehabilitation; those who are especially frail and require long-term nursing care; and those who are terminally ill and receive palliative care, often with the aid of hospice providers.

Advantages of Friends House Health Care Unit include our high staff-to-resident ratio, small resident count, very low staff turnover, and the wonderful camaraderie that exists between staff and residents. Since we have an eight-acre campus with multiple lounge areas, there are great places for residents to visit with family and friends. For more information regarding the Health Care Unit, contact the nursing station at 707-573-4517.
