NURSING FACILITIES
After a time of mourning, living situation may need to change. Being with seniors groups can be helpful. You are surrounded by people who understand what
you are going through. They are also a place to go to be sociable and talk about
your fond memories. Playing cards, and reading are just some of the things that you
would do. Jerns Funeral Chapel has provided a list of seniors housing around
the Bellingham and the surrounding area.
We are fortunate to have an active number of groups focused on addressing the needs of seniors in the area. We respect that after loosing a parent or a spouse, a new level of care and concern arises for those left behind. Any of these groups can advise you of programs designed to help and provide the caring peace of mind that has made our area so special.
