- Privacy
- Individuality

- Dignity
- Choice
- Home-like Environment
Wedman House consists of 30 studio suites. All suites are equipped with a kitchenette, which includes a bar fridge and cooktop, a three piece wheelchair friendly bathroom and drapes. Clients furnish their suites with their own belonging.
Adjacent to Wedman House are three Dementia/Alzheimer Care Cottages which were opened in 1997 to house 30 residents. The Wedman Village Homes provide assistance and residence for persons with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia. They are structurally designed with safety features specific to the needs of persons with dementia. Each side of the duplex has 5 bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room with fireplace and secure access to a fenced yard.
