Service Coordination

It sometimes can be difficult to figure out where to get specialty senior services. Friendship Terrace removes the need for conducting burdensome research; the community employs two full-time service coordinators to match residents with local partners. In addition to facilitating educational and wellness programs, your service coordinator is your connection to a large support network. We draw on many resources to assist and advocate for our clients. Below are just a few examples of senior services in this area.
