Friendship Village Retirement Community

Friendship Village Retirement Community Create an active lifestyle that fits you at Friendship Village, where Lifecare is our difference. Founded with faith. Focused on value.

Circa 1968, a group of area evangelical, interdenominational ministers and laypersons formed Friends of Faith Retirement Homes, Inc., and set about to create Friendship Village, a lifecare retirement community, in Waterloo, Iowa. Their goal was to provide companionable and secure living for retirees in a Christian environment. They embraced the innovative philosophy of “lifecare,” which provides for both immediate living choices, as well as potential future changes in lifestyle, all within a financial framework that protects the resident from exhausting their estate. Through the leadership of the Board of Directors, the Friendship Village organization has grown to include three distinct communities: Friendship Village, Rosewood Estate and Landmark Commons. Additionally, Landmark Place is an affiliate, and Landmark Meadows is in the early stages of development. The Friendship Village campus includes Lakeview Lodge, a contemporary assisted living community, and both The Pavilion and Lakeview Landing, which are state-of-the-art skilled nursing care facilities. All of these communities respond to the need for attractive and affordable retirement housing with supportive services designed to meet the physical and financial concerns of retirees for rewarding retirement living.

Linda McCann, January 15th at 2pm
Cove Lounge, Village Place
Learn about Iowa’s own women who stepped into the workforce during World War II with local historian and author Linda McCann. “Rosie the Riveter” became the symbol for the women who answered the call to work during WWII. Many hoped their efforts would help bring their husbands and family members home sooner. While some Iowa women traveled to the West Coast to work in factories producing airplanes, tanks, and battleships, many remained right here in Iowa doing the same vital work.
Linda McCann was surprised by just how much wartime production took place in Iowa. Through interviews with women who worked both on the coast and at home, she brings their powerful stories and memories to life in her book.
Books will be available for purchase.

Thank you for always being on top of things & doing it with a smile. You both are appreciated!
