Testimonials

Daughter of Resident

“Starting with the day my mother arrived at Friends Care I saw a huge difference in her quality of life. The focus was always on her and the other residents. My mother really enjoyed the activities and was brighter and more alert than she has been in the previous three years. I really enjoyed visiting with my mother instead of managing her healthcare. It wasn’t like that at the previous nursing homes and I am so appreciative that she was at Friends for her last seven months. Thank you for all you do!”
