We're very attracted to Friends Homes, because of the ambiance and philosophy in Greensboro, North Carolina. Also, it's a lot more affordable. It's got efficiency apartments as well as a one-bedroom, two- bedroom, and three bedrooms. They've got two campuses. They have four restaurants and they have shuttle buses that will take you to wherever you want to go so you don't have to have a car when you retire there. They're just delightful. The apartments were furnished with everything except your furniture. It's got appliances and carpeting. They've probably got a dozen different floor plans. So, they have a lot more variety. They have a fully furnished kitchen and laundry room. The food was good. The lady that gave me the tour has been very helpful. She called a few days ago to see if we were still interested.

My mother moved into Friends Home because she liked that she would have access to all levels of care. Now she has injured herself and needs a bed at Whittier for short term rehab and we were told none are available. This is because they have changed all the beds at Friends West to Private Pay and there are no longer enoughmedicare compliant beds for residents.. I am very, very disappointed.

Since management changed from Quakerly influenced to BriteSpire, formerly PHI, quality of life and services have declined drastically. At West, our dining room has been relocated to Guilford campus a mile away. We now have a cold simulated 5 Star restaurant with a waiting lounge and maitre D serving the cheapest vegetables available and fake meats. Sandwiches have also been moved to the Guilford campus. For the dining room or a sandwich, you go in rain, cold or snow to Guilford. Very inconvenient for handicapped residents with walkers or scooters. It is more a commercial apartment enterprise versus an elderly retirement home concerned with the needs of the elderly and handicapped,

My father and I took a tour of Friends Homes at Guilford two years ago. The place takes up quite a few blocks, so it's very big. The staff was very professional. It's a very expensive place. They've got their marketing down pretty well, but it's not affordable. We thought the food was good. The facility was very nice and newly remodeled, and it looked like it was very up-to-date as far as the decor. It didn't look old-fashioned. It looked like it was keeping up with the times. It had a nice library, beautiful grounds, and the apartments themselves were very nice.

My wife was in Friends Homes before she passed away, and I liked the place very much. However, they didn't have covered parking, which is the only thing I didn't like about them. The people are very nice, and you can move into independent living and move up to full care. They have everything in terms of amenities, and the food was very good. The workers are also pretty good.

Stopped by seeking admission information for our elderly father. Called first, but calls went unreturned. Then finally got a response asking to call back. We decided to drop by to talk in person. We were told that the admissions director was not in her office, After a few minutes, we could clearly see that she was. After going into her office and asking if she was the admissions director, We got the impression that our presence was some how not wanted. Not really sure why. Hope it wasn't race related. Also hope that race does not play a role in the admission process. If so, it would degrade the whole Quaker aspect of the facility.
