Review

Friendship Haven has received mixed reviews from its residents and their loved ones. While some have praised the staff for their friendliness and professionalism, others have had negative experiences, particularly in their communication via email.

One reviewer expressed disappointment with the pricing at Friendship Haven, stating that it was supposed to be based on income. However, they discovered that their loved one's income was lower than expected, yet the price did not decrease accordingly. Additionally, they were under the impression that medication was included in the price, but were subsequently billed for it. These financial discrepancies left a sour taste in their mouth and led them to advise against recommending this community to others.

In contrast, another reviewer had a much more positive experience overall at Friendship Haven. They commended the staff for doing a "very good job" and gave them high marks across the board. The friendly and professional demeanor of the staff members stood out to them, as did the consistently clean and well-maintained environment. However, the reviewer did mention that there seemed to be limited on-site activities available for residents.

During their tour of Friendship Haven, one individual found it to be a nice place with a clean atmosphere. They noticed that the staff were friendly and capable of providing good care to residents. Although they couldn't gauge the breadth of activities offered, they generally liked what they saw during their visit.

Overall, these three reviews present varying perspectives on Friendship Haven. While some appreciated aspects such as cleanliness and attentive staff members, others felt let down by issues related to pricing and communication regarding medication expenses. It is important for potential residents and their families to consider all aspects when evaluating whether this community would be a suitable fit for them or their loved ones
