Overall Review of Friendship Village
caveat8 reviews mention this
Communication and call response issues
Several residents and families report trouble getting responses by phone or call system.
A recurring frustration is difficulty reaching the community when families call, with some reviewers saying messages were not returned for days or weeks. Other accounts describe call systems or assistance buttons going unanswered for long stretches. A few reviews also connect those responsiveness problems to delays in care and medication support during rehab and nursing stays.
caveat6 reviews mention this

Reviewers describe major gaps in medication and staffing during nursing or rehab.
While some reviews praise nursing as caring and supportive, multiple negative accounts describe unsafe or neglected care. Several reviewers mention medication issues, including missed medication or medication problems during rehab or nursing. Others describe understaffing and trouble getting the help they needed on the unit, including during restroom and overnight assistance.

Food is a clear mix
Food gets frequent mentions, ranging from “good†to complaints about temperature and preparation.
Many reviewers call the food good, enjoyable, or a positive part of the day, and several specifically mention dining staff being helpful. At the same time, some reviews report cold meals, undercooked food, or dining service problems such as slow delivery and meal items not being well prepared. Overall, dining appears to land as a meaningful strength for many families, but it is also one of the areas that shows variability across stays and shifts.

Pricing is often described as lower
Several reviews frame the cost as a strong point compared with other options.
A few reviewers say the price is great or among the best in the area, and one notes the price as average. The listing pricing also shows a broad range across unit types while staying far below county and state benchmarks. That combination aligns with the way multiple reviews talk about affordability, even though other reviews focus more on condition and staffing than on cost.
caveat10 reviews mention this
Facility cleanliness and upkeep
Reviews describe both a clean environment and serious maintenance or cleanliness problems.
Some reviewers praise the community as clean and welcoming, including impressions during tours and visits. Other reviews contrast that by describing unclean conditions and maintenance failures such as sewage backups, mold concerns, and pests, along with areas needing repair or remodeling. Even where reviewers were generally satisfied, several comments suggest the building is dated and in need of upgrades.
common16 reviews mention this
Staff friendliness stands out
Many reviews praise staff as friendly, caring, and helpful.
Across positive reviews, residents and families repeatedly describe staff members as warm and accommodating, with some naming specific team members who helped make the move easier. Several reviewers also describe staff as attentive and responsive in day-to-day interactions, including dining and activities. At the same time, negative reviews frequently pair staffing concerns with communication problems, so the staff experience appears to vary by unit, time, and level of care.

Comprehensive on-site care and amenities, including 24/7 supervision, ADL support, dining options, wellness programs, and transportation.
The transition from assisted living to skilled nursing care is often prompted by complex medical needs that assisted living cannot meet, with key indicators including frequent health declines, increased falls, severe memory issues, and caregiver burnout. Families should recognize these signs early to discuss options with healthcare providers and prepare for the emotional and logistical aspects of moving to a facility that offers comprehensive medical support.
Dementia is characterized by cognitive decline, with nutrition playing a vital role in brain health; while no specific diet can prevent or reverse it, a nutrient-dense diet rich in antioxidants and healthy fats may support cognitive function. The MIND diet, which emphasizes beneficial foods and limits processed items, along with proper hydration and individualized meal strategies, can enhance the well-being of dementia patients.
Dementia affects memory and cognitive function in older adults, presenting challenges for caregivers due to behavioral changes such as confusion and mood swings. Compassionate, person-centered care that considers individual history and preferences, along with effective communication and environmental modifications, is essential for supporting both patients and their caregivers.
