While some of our residents may experience some memory issues, Friends Village is not a licensed memory care facility. 

Memory care is not necessarily needed, however, if a resident experiencing mild to moderate memory issues is responsive to staff assistance and does not wander away from the community. 

Should the need arise, our Director of Resident Services will work closely with families whose loved ones may require additional onsite care or placement in a licensed memory care community.

Many people believe they must move into a large continuing care retirement community (CCRC) to ensure they’ll receive future care and “never have to move again.” In reality, residents in those communities often move between buildings and adjust to new staff as their needs change. Friends Village offers a simpler, more flexible approach. Residents live independently in their cottages with access to NeighborCare, our on-site home care service, which can bring personalized assistance right to their door if additional support is needed.

Research shows that while about 70% of adults over 65 may need some help at some point, much of that care is temporary, such as during recovery from illness or surgery, and about one-third of older adults never need long-term care at all.

With NeighborCare available when needed, residents can maintain independence and familiar surroundings without paying for future care they may never use.

The Community Fee is a one-time, non-refundable, charge that is payable upon move-in to Friends Village.  As a non-profit community, Friends Village utilizes the Community Fee for the upkeep and renewal of its two campuses.
