🌵✨Cactus Month at Friendship Village!✨🌵

February was sharp, stylish, and full of fun as we celebrated Cactus Month. Our amazing residents truly stuck with the theme, creating stunning cactus displays that brightened every corner. We enjoyed hands-on workshops, engaging tours, a themed movie, a guest speak and of course-delicious cactus-inspired food and drink. Who knew February could be this sharp? 😉

❤️ Love was in the air at Friendship Village! ❤️
We were thrilled to host not one, but two Sweetheart Dinners this year for our incredible residents who have been married 50 years or more. With so many long‑lasting love stories here at the Village, we had plenty to celebrate!

Our honored couples—those celebrating 50+ years of marriage anytime in 2026—enjoyed a beautiful dinner and a joyful night together. The smiles said it all. 💕

Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day from Friendship Village to you!
