Before You Arrive

Take it all in. Immerse yourself in all that Friendship Village has to offer and the distinctive avenues that sets us apart like our nonprofit priorities, our busy calendar of events and our Lifecare advantage.


You've called to schedule your on-site tour, now is the time to gather up some financial information. You're welcome to bring along costs of your at home payments and home maintenance. We can help you compare those costs to our all-inclusive approach to services and amenities that occurs when moving into our community.

"The biggest attraction for me is LifeCare. Although, I expect to be healthy for a while yet, my children will never have to be responsible for me. This is a comfort for us all. I will be here the rest of my life & receive any care I may need! Now that I’m here, it is great! Thanks Friendship – you are a friend indeed!"  

Jo O’Connor, Village Resident

At Your Visit  

We can accommodate a tour to fit your schedule. Allow as much time as you can, but we suggest one to two hours. Let’s treat you to a lunch or dinner, too. That way you can see how friendly the family can be AND you’ll enjoy some great cuisine, too!


An expert in senior living will begin the visit by discovering and learning about your individual situation. What are you looking for? Are there any mobility or cognitive difficulties? What do you like to do in your free time? Equipped with that information, we can see some model and actual apartments that might work for you.


We will also explore the common areas that include game and craft rooms, dining rooms, lounges and more.

On Your First Day 

It's move in day, with that, comes many emotions. It is our goal to make this transition as smooth and comforting as possible. You may be surprised at how fast you feel right at home. Within a couple of hours into your move, you may here a knock on the door from one of our resident ambassadors on the welcome committee. They are available to share tips, acclimate you with the community, enjoy a meal, attend an event, answer questions or just be a listening ear as you settle into your new home. 


Our Activity Coordinator and Wellness & Volunteer Coordinator will stop by to share with you how to stay connected and informed with all that is going on around our community! Depending on if you move into Landmark Commons or Friendship Village, the housekeeping team will meet with you to set up a bi-weekly cleaning schedule; and once you put in a work order, maintenance is sure to be there to fulfill your request as soon as they can. With that said, we are happy to welcome you home!
