As winter weather approaches, we want our residents to feel calm, confident, and cared for. 🤍

Our team is actively preparing for the incoming winter storm with your safety and comfort as our top priorities. Across our campuses, we are taking extra steps to ensure everything runs smoothly—stocking essential supplies, coordinating staffing coverage, checking emergency systems, and preparing our buildings and walkways for winter conditions.

Our clinical, dining, maintenance, and leadership teams are working closely together to make sure residents continue to receive the same high-quality care, warm meals, and daily routines they count on—no matter what the weather brings. If conditions change, we are ready, and we have plans in place to keep everyone safe and comfortable indoors.

To our families: thank you for trusting us with those you love. To our residents: thank you for being such a wonderful community. Winter storms may come and go, but our commitment to caring for you never changes.

Please stay safe, stay warm, and know that you are in good hands.

"I have lived for over 7 years in an independent apartment here at Friendship Living. I walk every day, no matter the weather, this beautiful campus.

I feel this is like a big, beautiful family. We worship together, enjoy outside activities and bus service to go shopping. We receive a monthly calendar full of activities for all residents to sign up and enjoy. We have a restaurant on premises we can invite family and friends to enjoy every day.

I am very happy to call Friendship Living my home."

Armchair travel is a lot of fun for seniors—it sparks curiosity, memories, and imagination without the stress of packing or long flights. 🌍 From tasting new foods to learning traditions and sharing stories, it offers all the joy of discovery in a relaxed, comfortable way. Today’s trip to Germany was a wonderful example of how armchair travel can transport everyone across the world while staying right at home.

Is PIZZA good for you? 🍕
Smile Helen, the news is good!

Carbohydrates from the crust give energy.
Protein from cheese (and toppings like chicken or beans) helps with growth and muscle.
Calcium from cheese supports bones.
Vegetables like peppers, onions, mushrooms, or spinach add vitamins and fiber.

Growing older is beautiful because it brings confidence in who you are, freedom from comparison, and a quiet strength that reflects a life fully lived—proof that true beauty grows richer with age.
