The Neighbor of the Month
This monthly spotlight will feature a resident at PortagePointe. We hope you enjoy getting to know a resident and learning their life lessons!
Philosophy
Our elder-centered model of care is an extension of the Eden philosophy, which strives to alleviate the three plagues of loneliness, helplessness, and boredom among our elder population.
The Eden philosophy was founded in 1991 by Dr. William Thomas, a Harvard-educated physician and board-certified geriatrician. The philosophy is based on the core belief that aging should be a continued stage of development and growth, rather than a period of decline. PortagePointe is the only registered Eden home in the four-county area.
