Children laugh and play in our
day care center, and brighten

and singing birds because the
bonds formed between pets
and humans aids in the
recovery process.
Artwork by our residents

gardens on wheels, and at

encouraged to plan activities,
to personalize their living

we encourage our residents to

through the Eden Alternative,
we join with them in making
Fir Lane a home full of life,

We have a saying at Fir Irene
that captures the spirit of our
commitment to service.
"My goal is to make life worth
living for the people I am
honored to serve. I will
always remember that
you do not live where I work--
I work where you live."
Beyond medical care and therapies, we also offer our
