Felician Village at Home
How you want to live matters!
Felician Village at Home is a unique membership program designed to support the health and well-being of people living in their own home or apartment as they age. The program helps older adults continue to thrive through involvement, interactions and learning. Medical services are not provided through this program. For only a small fee each month, members are eligible to receive a variety of services, social and educational opportunities as well as discounts from area businesses. In addition, members not only use our services, but they support one another through volunteerism, rather than relying entirely on support from us.

Testimonials
"Felician Village provides joyful and engaging home visits from a volunteer, which are a highlight of my Dad's schedule. Uniquely, these weekly conversations are highly stimulating for Dad (even though Dad is home bound, his intelligence and wit are excellent), which in turn offer connections to the community and fast-changing events that he is curious about outside his front door. Dad happily anticipates Felician Village home visits, giving structure to and confidence in his days."
"As a caregiver, I also appreciate that Felician Village is a valuable resource for navigating sometimes complicated and confusing landscape of care and support options. The staff overall has proven to be wise counsel on several occasions, proving their professionalism and true commitment to quality and compassionate service."
"This program has been an absolute blessing for both my mother, as well as myself ( reside out of town in New Jersey) and my family, to make sure she has the support to continue to live as independently as possible as she ages."
"We love the newsletter packed with engaging, helpful information!"
"Mom mainly uses the Felician Village on the Go program that has been absolutely instrumental to helping her maintain her independence to get to appointments and activities she enjoys."
"Being a daughter who lives out of state can be quite a worrying situation at times. Felician At Home has provided peace of mind to me knowing that they genuinely care about mom and at all times, keep her best interests, health and welfare at heart."
