Friendship Village provided excellent care during my recent stay due to broken hip and wrist. The nurses and CNA's were great. All giving care with true honest attitudes. Food was very good and kitchen provided many choices for each meal. Five star recommendation.

What a fantastic place to recover! There is always something that could be improved, no facility is perfect. The difference is that this facility is committed to giving great service and maintaining excellent communication with its clients. In the time that I’ve been here, the staff has ensured my comfort through medical and mental care. No one is left to sit alone wondering what’s going on. I appreciate how much these folks try.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would without any doubt. The Team at this facility are very profesional and excellent with all forms of communication. They take their jobs seriously and the patients truly feel that they care about them, which of course they do. The patients comfort and care are their priority. The facility campus is well groomed and clean, you won't find any unpleasant smells within this facility because it is spotless. The food is excellent and well balanced. I have lived in the Valley for over 40 years and have worked in many senior living facilities and Friendship Village is #1 on my list for care and quality for anyone in need of their service. Keep up the excellent work you are all doing at Friendship Village and thank you for being so attentive to your patients with their care and comfort.

My three experiences here i feel genuinely blessed that a family member was able to find friendship village. Their people especially their physical therapy team has brought my spirits and mobility up tremendously. I feel comfortable to rehabilitate here and recommend this place to anyone looking for rehab. They pay close attention to the small details and it goes a long ways. They helped me recover from paralysis and did an exceptional job. When I've mentioned friendship village to friends and family they mentioned "you found the the best place to go to"

Both my parents have utilized the Friendship Village Healthcare Center during their 17 years as independent residents of FVT. My father lived the last 5 years of his life with Alzheimer’s in the healthcare center (living 14 years total with the disease) and he was happy, healthy and extremely well cared for. Our family is so very grateful for the care that all the healthcare center staff provided. His room was always clean, as were his clothes and his person. The atmosphere was always cheerful and nurturing with a focus on quality care. He was treated with dignity and compassion every step of the way through his journey and in the end was under Hospice of The Valley with staff and facilities on the first floor of the healthcare center aiding FVT skilled nurses in his final days, a real comfort. My 94 year old mother has had 4 occasions to utilize healthcare for rehabilitation the last 2-3 years after two falls with major bone fractures as well as after back surgery and healed quickly and well under the skilled nursing care as well as physical therapy available in the care center. Our family cannot say enough good things about all the Friendship Village offers.
