Friendship Village Tempe

I visited Friendship Village Tempe. I saw a separate unit, like a little house. They had just built and opened up a four-story building, but I didn't see that. They said they had five restaurants. I think they had one up on the roof of that new building. They were big on happy hours. Every month, I get a notice from them now about happy hour. Cleanliness looked OK to me, but I'm not a really meticulous person anyway. I ran into someone I knew, and she said she loves it, and she became a resident assistant after a few months there. I've run into people at my physical therapy who live there. Some of them have lived there for years, and they love it. I just had this one woman who was in charge of marketing, and she was nice. I didn't meet a lot of staff. It has an indoor pool. They had a lot of separate buildings. It was isolated from the streets, so I thought it was very private. I was surprised because you can't see into it, and they have a guard. I parked and didn't have any problems. What I saw in the main building looked like a normal restaurant type of thing.

We were there only a few months almost a year ago because we were depending on our house to sell which it didn’t so we moved home,but I can say the staff is wonderful, very helpful and friendly.

I toured Friendship Village, and it looks beautiful. It has a lot of amenities and it's very large and has lots of options. You can live in a small apartment, you can live in a casita, you can live in a large apartment, and you can live in a penthouse. There were many activities, and the staff seemed very nice.

I have lived at Friendship Village for 19 years. I love my cottage, and through the years the services have been very appropriate and flexible for my needs. The staff and residents are like a family to me!

I moved to Friendship Village 10/1/2020...pretty much the middle of the pandemic. My primary reason for choosing the Village the option to have a cottage (they come in duplexes, triplexes and quads) that I could renovate any way I wanted. I originally moved into a one-bedroom unit while my two-bedroom unit was being upgraded. Although it took 6 months (including a 2-month wait for Tempe to approve a permit), it was well worth the wait. The Village has accommodated my every wish. Although I haven't participated in any Village activities (due to covid restrictions), I have thoroughly enjoyed having my meals delivered. The staff is friendly and efficient. The residents have also welcomed me and made me feel that this is a move I should have made years ago. Recently the Village opened up for visitors which has been welcomed by all residents. I highly recommend Friendship Village Tempe to anyone looking for the perfect retirement setting.

We're in the process of moving into Friendship Village Tempe. We will have a cottage and it's in a large park full of other cottages, and it's big enough but not too big. It's near a lot of places and we yearn for that, so this satisfies that very nicely. The food seemed very good and the staff is very helpful. The place is very nice.
