The Francis E. Parker Memorial Home provides transformative and charitable long-term care services in home-like settings while advancing learning opportunities for nurses, other health care professionals and caregivers.
Based on the Eden Alternative™, Parker’s Eden Philosophy stresses that elders are human beings who deserve to live as human beings. Through a person-centered and holistic approach to caring for the mind, body, and spirit, the goal of the Eden Philosophy is to promote the optimal well-being of each participant.
Parker’s Eden Philosophy is not just for seniors. Families and caregivers of each participant are assisted through support groups, counseling, respite, and education. Through these efforts, families gain a sense of comfort and peace of mind knowing their loved one is in a warm, safe, and secure environment.
History
Established in 1907.
The Francis E. Parker Memorial Home was founded in 1907 by Henrietta Parker in memory of her late husband, Francis, who believed that seniors suffering from chronic illness should be able to live in a homelike environment with excellent, affordable nursing care. Today, guided by the principles of the Eden Alternative®, PARKER continues to embrace and nurture aging as a natural stage of life to be celebrated with compassion and enthusiasm.
