About Friendship Cottage

The promise of Friendship Cottage is to gently tend to the needs of dependent adults while guiding and assisting the family and friends who care for them. The mission of the Adult Day Services Program is to provide care and socialization for dependent adults in a safe, supportive and homelike environment. Friendship Cottage opened in 2008, thanks to tremendous support from local community members, as a program of Washington Hancock Community Agency. WHCA is proud to be partnering with organizations, such as Eastern Agency on Aging, to improve and expand services for dependent adults and their caregivers. Every weekday, Friendship Cottage offers a medical model Adult Day Service Program of activities, meals and personal care for older adults who may be physically, mentally or functionally impaired. Our team of trained professionals and volunteers provides safe, fun and stimulating activities to move the body and stimulate the mind, such as games, arts and crafts, reminiscing, cards, horticulture, cooking, discussion groups, travelogues, exercise, music, entertainment and local outings. There is also time for rest and relaxation in our quiet room and a place to meet new friends in our sunny great room.
