My parents are living here. The staff worked to get them a room together and I have seen other rooms with both couples. Skilled nursing takes medicaid. Assisted does not. Parents day the food is very good. Nurse staff is fairly attentive but as usual are somewhat short and a wait is often experienced. Parents say staff are very friendly and courteous.

What a difference Friendship Manor has made! Some of the nicest people you will ever meet, and they give you such peace of mind. Truly, when you know that your Mom is happy and well taken care of, (not to mention AMAZING food), life is better for everybody! Like our kids say... "When Mama's happy, everybody's happy"! Yes, kids, I'll definitely agree with that! Mama is definitely happy! Thank you, Friendship Manor! 😊❤️😁

Thank you to the entire team at Friendship Manor, especially in the Memory Care Unit where they provided loving, caring and compassionate care for our mother. She enjoyed the staff who were so kind and loving. She enjoyed sitting out on the beautiful outdoor patio, having coffee with friends and engaging in the other social activities there. She was always treated like family and we knew she was happy and safe. I would highly recommend Friendship Manor.

I live at Friendship Manor in a lovely apartment in Independent Living. Not one moment of regret in making this decision. I’m so glad I made this decision while I am still able to be active, participate in activities that interest me, of which there are many. I still have my car & participate in outside activities if I so choose. Best of both worlds, for sure.
