My parents have enjoyed their time at Friendship Village over the years, including independent living and then in various health care units. The staff has been attentive, caring and professional, and we have been grateful for all they've done.

We've learned about the importance of understanding the stages of care and how the different health care areas work in advance, as often it is explained to residents but not always as clear to family members. But overall, we've been quite happy with the experience.

Both of my parents have been at Friendship Village for over five years. They have transitioned from independent care to assisted to memory and nursing care. The staff is fabulous, the properties are great and overall, it is a great community. We have parents at another residence that is very nice, but Friendship Village is the absolute best in our experience.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Friendship Village's leadership team in 2020 and the early part of 2021. They hired our company to plan and conduct the relocation of 41 residents into one of their newly-constructed buildings. I'm happy to report that, from a B2B perspective, their entire staff exhibited great care and concern for the well-being of their residents during a stressful, yet exciting, time. Designing and constructing a beautiful senior living building is a nice accomplishment, but it doesn't matter if you don't have the caring, compassionate staff in that building. Friendship Village managed to succeed in both areas.

We have lived here for 13 years and never have we had the experience we are going through now. They have been fabulous here in keeping us safe from the virus. The housekeepers and the culinary crew have done all they can. Clean the apartments with disinfectant wipes and spray. The culinary staff make great meals and they deliver them to our apartments. Then they go so far as to have great video exercise classes. Our Executive Director, David Miller, has kept us informed as to the health condition of the Health Care and the independent living residents. He helps to keep our moral up, as have ALL of the staff. We couldn't be better cared for, and our families all are so happy that we are being taken good care of.
What more could we ask for, except for this thing to BE OVER.
