I visited this facility

Friends Village was very nice. The woman who took care of me was very informative. She was very good, very nice, and very kind. She tried to explain everything and had all the information already for me. We went through a unit in one of their cottages. It had a nice patio in the back. It was a nice-sized unit. If I did want to go to a place like that, I think you get one meal a day, but I would have to walk outside to get to where the kitchen is. The cottages are separate; they're not attached. The unit was a two-bedroom-two-bath apartment. The older building is in good shape, but it's not modernized. It's nice. It was a nice tour.

I moved into Friends Village in 2019. In that time I saw the prices increase and the services decrease. The powers that be cite lack of funds for improving the common areas, yet they can install directional signs.

I'm a resident of Friends Village. It has two campuses- the nursing home is Friends Home and I'm in the Village, which is independent living. It's a Quaker-based institution, nonprofit, non-denominational, but it's supported by the Quakers. They have six apartment buildings and then there's a little bit smaller setting within the main building for twelve apartments. I'm in a independent apartment and I walk to the main building for my meals and activities. Aside from COVID, which shut some things down for two months here, it has been a very positive experience. The staff is well trained and very attentive to people's needs. I have no complaint whatsoever about anything they've done. When I first came in, the apartment that I am in, which is a 1-bedroom, was completely renovated with a new kitchen. I have my own washer dryer in my apartment, plenty of storage, and my own bedroom and bath. My apartment is cleaned by staff once every two weeks and then a deep cleaning once a year. I haven't reached that point yet, but it is neat and clean. The campus is lovely. I can't commend the staff enough. I have never seen such caring when people need extra help or things of that sort. Although it's independent, there are some people here with walkers and oxygen, and the staff has always been extremely helpful in any kind of aid to the people's needs. We're coming back from a lockdown because the county had high COVID rates in January and February, and so we're just getting back to activities. They seem to be going well and I will stay here as long as I am able. My son and my oldest grandchildren live about a mile away. Although the rest of my family is about an hour away, it's closer than where I was before. The main building was a large colonial building, which has a dining room and a TV room. It also has a library. Then there is a hallway that has 12 apartments. Beyond that, there's a card room and a gym. And then there are patios outside and porches. There are clusters of four buildings, and I live in one of them. I happen to live in the building. Eight apartments each, summer doubles, summer 1-bedroom, and summer studios. Each has a quadrangle where you can sit out. As soon as the weather gets better, they're installing special plantings for us there. They're in the process of doing what they call native plantings, and the residents on my end of the quadrangle can have their own plants. We're trying to coordinate our colors together and then they will plant for us and we'll have a beautiful garden in the summer. They've taken care of everything, and maintenance is wonderful. I have knee problems and they've brought me my newspaper to my door, and things of that sort; the little extras that I didn't expect. When we were on the lockdown, they brought us our meals. It's a friendly place. I was in another place where the staff was not so accommodating or communicative, and so I am very pleased.

I visited this facility

We went on a tour at Friends Home & Village. The director of resident services was extremely nice. The staff and the people that lived there are very friendly, but unfortunately it's not up to our standards, and so far it is a very old facility. They are going to update the cottages or the apartments that they have, but right now we would not consider it. It would be a wonderful facility if it was updated which they plan to do.
