If you remember anything from my review it's this: don't judge a book by its cover. Sure, this place shows its age and feels very institutional. However, there is something special about the people who work here, and that makes all the difference. My dad was there for a recent 3 week rehab stint and gave the ultimate compliment - that he would have been happy to stay there permanently. It was the staff who endeared him, not the physical surroundings. The folks that I interacted with while he was there were also very helpful to me. I recommend this place to anyone who needs it.

For a mid-aged woman to be admitted into a rehab facility is humbling and life changing. Not at Friendships Skilled Facility and Rehabilitation Center. I have been in Healthcare for over 40 years. I have never seen a team work together in every capacity making sure everyone feels their needs are the most important of all. The staff never wavered. It was consistent no matter what shift or staff. Our family was so very pleased. Any health issue that came up they were there timely and took care of it immediately. The facility was very clean, no smell at all, which is unusual for skilled facilities. The food was amazing. Every meal for over 90 days. After a three month stay, we can say over 90 days of consistent care, our family was able to bring her home. Believe it or not, she made so many new friends within the staff that she was will miss each and everyone. Thank you Ann Marie for all you have done and what you have built. Amazing and impressive job. We have our family all together again and just before Thanksgiving. Extremely thankful family, The Foster, Turner, and Driskell Family

This place has such bittersweet memories for me and my family. We moved our mother, Ms.Willie Mae Gay here, from the nursing home in Snellville, Georgia to Cleveland, Georgia. We were only able to visit her only a very few times our of the month in the other nursing home. Friendship nursing home allows us to visit our, sweet Mother every week. Sometimes, I world visit four days in a row. This is the reason I started using Lyft car service. There were some very dedicated and caring employees at Friendship Health and Rehab nursing home. There were others who made me want to go a few rounds with them in a boxing match without gloves. Yet, my Family and I will always Cherish those special moments and memories being with our mother there. May Our Wonderful Creator have mercy on her soul and grant her Paradise! Aameen!🤲🏾
