ABOUT US
For years, we were known as Ford’s Friendly Personal Care Home. While our commitment to the health and safety of our residents has never wavered, we realized our name needed to catch up to our philosophy. We aren't just a "facility" that provides care; we are a vibrant community that supports living.
About Ford's Friendly Supportive Senior Living
Our Family’s Story: A Legacy of Heart
The vision for Ford’s Friendly Supportive Senior Living didn’t begin in a boardroom; it began in our own living room. Like many of the families we serve, we once sat where you are—searching for a place that offered more than just medical oversight. We wanted a home where our loved one would be seen, heard, and truly cherished.
The Birth of a Community When we couldn't find a place that met our "Family Standard," we decided to build it ourselves. We transitioned from being a traditional personal care home to a supportive living community because we believe that aging should be an era of connection, not isolation.
A Personal Touch in Everything We Do At Ford’s Friendly, you aren't just a resident; you are an extension of our family. You’ll often find Haniyyah Ford, our Founder & CEO, greeting families by name and ensuring that the warmth of our original mission is felt in every interaction.
We aren't a corporate chain. We are a family-owned and operated sanctuary in Manchester, dedicated to the idea that everyone deserves to live with dignity, joy, and the support of a community that truly cares.
​
We invite you to visit us and experience the difference that a personal touch makes.
