The staff was amazing; they were wonderful and very nice. They knew my mother from another facility, and they remembered her, so that was interesting. The people in the place were very nice. They came over and said "Hi." The apartments were large and very nice -- nicer than most of the ones that I have seen. Basically, Friendship Village was really a good place, but for me it was just too far away. There was a gym, there was shopping, and they had clubs. They had other things too. They also had an art room. The food was very good. The dining room was open all day. I liked the whole atmosphere of the place. It was clean and inviting, and you could be as friendly or as non-friendly as you wanted. It was a really nice place. I wouldn't mind being there when the time comes.

My mother was sick and I needed to move her so I brought her to Friendship Village. The location was only five minutes from me so I could visit her quickly. She was in a cooped up room with not enough space for furniture. It was depressing that she was in the room everyday and never got out. At first, we thought the food was going to be good but it was not. The seniors could not chew the cooked food because it was too hard. My mom did not eat the food and it cost more to buy her food when it was supposedly part of her rent. The staff was friendly and I liked that. They tried their best to be accommodating to my mom although she was in the independent living area.

I had my mom in rehab for a while at Friendship Village. I had gone there to look at their assisted living facilities five years ago, and I thought it was a very nice atmosphere and it seemed like it had a lot of different things to offer. This one was a little older facility than some, but it was still fairly kept up and everything. I wasn’t really too fond of the rehab part of it. She had a roommate, and she was kind of distractive at night, so I didn’t think that that was too good for the other roommate. I also didn’t think it was a good fit for my mom. She had been there for three days and I wasn’t able to visit, so I called to find out about her and I wasn’t able to get through, or nobody picked up in that area. And when I got there, they had given her a sandwich, but it wasn’t really close to her or within reach of her to pick up. She is 97 years old, she has dementia, and she has a lot of things going on which made it may be harder for them to deal with her. I also don’t know whether I have a really good idea of what went on during the day. But when I was there, I wasn’t too impressed with what was going on. I feel like in some cases, they should be in individual rooms rather than with a roommate or a more private type of double room. They should also provide more assistance for the ones who needed a little extra help.

We went to Friendship Village. It was not updated, so I did not care for it at all. It was clean but needed some serious updating. I would not put my mother-in-law there. They would have put her in a two-bed nursing-home-type situation with a curtain between her and somebody else, and that just turned us off. The food was very good. The price was average.

Friendship Village is huge. The staff was straightforward with me. The dining room was beautiful, and the food we ate that day was very good.

Everything was OK at Friendship Village; the food was fine, and they had great activities. They seem to be low on staff at certain times in the evenings and weekends. I feel like the care wasn’t as good as the other place. The rooms were fine, and they were pretty nice. The grounds were big, so mom has a lot of area to walk.

My mother is in Friendship Village and she's very happy there. The facility is very good. The staff is great and their work ethic is good. Mom is in an apartment with one-bedroom with small kitchen area, a living room and a bathroom, which is spacious enough for her. I eat there a couple of times and the food is good. The dining room is nice and pleasant. They have activities like cards, bingo and pool. They also have outings.

My dad is in Friendship Village. So far, it has been very good. I think they probably have the best cost. They also have multiple levels of care all in one place if he needs to move up as his disease progresses. The rooms are very nice and very clean. It is an older facility that's been there for quite some time, but they did some remodeling. One of the biggest things that I notice is that the nurses and the staff seem to be very friendly, very caring, and make me feel very comfortable that they will take care of my dad to the best of their ability. They seem to be a little active and take him out of his room most of the time, not just for meals but for activities in between meals like an exercise class or birthday celebration or group activity. They seem to have several of those every day. It keeps him out of his room not only for meal time, but throughout the day interacting with other people. It stimulates their minds rather than just being in their rooms all day.
