They choose Frederick because of the values held by the Mennonite church. Many residents attend our non-denominational Sunday church services. Some residents go to churches outside of the Community. Catholic communion is offered once a month on our campus. Scientists have documented the calming effects and health benefits of pets on people.
Pets are an important part of life at Frederick.
Visitors are frequently surprised to see a nursing resident petting a cat on her lap or listening to the soothing sounds of our lovebirds. Independent and assisted living residents may bring one pet. Pets must be well behaved and under the resident's control. Assisted living has a resident cat and parakeet, and more pets are planned when construction is completed. In Aspen Village, the memory support residence, you will notice our cats, birds and a specially trained therapy dog.
