My mother had the best care. Every single person who works there have been so caring and kind to her. She could not have been better care. I would recommend this facility to everyone. Lexi, Deb and Mark are just a few of the employees who went above and beyond for mom. Thank you just isn’t enough to tell them how much we appreciated each and every one there.

We have always had a great feeling coming in during the evenings to visit. The nursing team is always friendly, and promptly attending to their residents. We can tell that they care deeply about them, with the attention and care provided while we visit into the evening hours

Absolutely love this place! My father has been here for 1.5 years and the staff are truly amazing. There are not enough words to say how wonderful the staff treat my father and other residents! The communication is great! The care is great! The staff are friendly and truly, truly care about the residents they work with. My family and I could not be happier that our father is at Friendship Manor!

This place has been around awhile, but is still taking great care of its residents. My grandma, and quite a few other people I know who have had their grandparents here have experienced great care and service to our relatives. They were there for our family in a few stages of my grandmas life, and were always thoughtful and thorough with her care. It is not a very big facility, but takes very good care of their guests. It was always clean, and answers were always provided. Meetings for care at later stages of life were scheduled and our feedback was always important to what they were trying to achieve. The staff was always friendly and polite as we brought our children to see their great grandma. I would reccomend this facility to anyone asking about care for their family in their later stages of life.

My Mother is a current resident at Friendship Manor. We chose this facility because my father had also been a resident but unfortunately passed away in 2010. The staff was so good to my father and the quality of overall care and compassion was exceptional. I think one of the reasons for this is the longevity of staff at Friendship Manor. Just the other day a staff member celebrated her 40 year employment anniversary! Both of my parents enjoyed the activities and programs put on for the residents and love to participate. If you are looking for a compassionate and caring home for your loved one, I would highly recommend this facility.
