Explore Lifecare at Friendship Village

Lifecare is our difference

Limit your financial outlay even if you experience unexpected long-term care needs. Lifecare provides financial peace of mind – freeing you from becoming dependent on your family or the government or by depleting the assets you spent a lifetime accumulating.


Friendship Village is the only retirement community in the Cedar Valley offering Lifecare.
