About Friendship Village Of Bloomington

Friendship Village of Bloomington is a nonprofit Life Care senior living community located in Bloomington, Minnesota, at the heart of the Twin Cities metro. The community has been serving residents for more than four decades and offers independent living alongside a full continuum of on-site care, including assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation.

Independent living residences feature a variety of floor plans, including one- and two-bedroom layouts with options such as private balconies, four-season porches, dens, walk-in closets, and in some newer residences, two-car garages. Homes range from cozy one-bedroom suites to more expansive two-bedroom-plus-sunroom layouts designed for entertaining.

As residents' needs change, assisted living is designed to blend into daily life, offering personalized support while allowing residents to continue activities that matter to them. The memory care program focuses on familiar routines, trusted faces, and personalized attention for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. The rehabilitation team creates individualized therapy programs within the community setting, and the skilled nursing team provides around-the-clock, personalized clinical care; this team received the 2025 U.S. News & World Report Best Long-Term and Short-Term Care Award.

Amenities include chef-prepared dining across four distinct venues, a 17,000-square-foot fitness center, an indoor saltwater pool, a golf simulator, a woodworking shop, an art studio, and more than 35 resident-led social clubs. The community's location in the Twin Cities metro puts residents within easy reach of dining, arts, professional sports, and other cultural destinations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

As a Life Care community, Friendship Village of Bloomington provides priority access to higher levels of care at predictable costs, allowing residents to move between levels of care within the same community, among familiar people and surroundings.

The girl working the front desk today at 3:30 was completely rude and disrespectful I had a delivery and was having a hard time finding the place and she was very smart and then eventually put me on mute. Will tell the company not to deliver here again. Also when I asked for a manager she told me that she doesn’t have one and did not want to give her name. The date and time is January 22 2026 3:30

The reception staff would greatly benefit from enhanced training in guest communication and hospitality. Unfortunately, the initial interaction lacked the warmth and professionalism expected from a welcoming establishment.

My father was here before his death. Janel has been one of the most sincere nurses I've ever encountered
