Read Full Summary
  • Track record — Over more than three and a half decades of licensure, Friendship House has accumulated four Type B administrative citations and zero Type A findings, indicating no pattern of safety or care-related concerns.
  • Recent 3 years — The two most recent inspections, in 2024 and 2025, produced no citations of either class, suggesting steady or improving performance in the current period.
  • Operating tenure — With over 36 years of continuous licensure, this community has a long track record that gives real weight to its clean safety history.
  • Severity — The four lifetime citations are administrative in nature (paperwork, posting, or minor procedural gaps) rather than findings tied to resident safety or care, and no complaints have ever been substantiated against this home.

AI review summary

Reviewers describe an involved, hands-on owner and a clean, modern home, though families should confirm details on staffing, pricing, and daily activities during a tour.

Read Full Summary
What reviewers praise
  • Staff & care — The owner is described as highly involved and hands-on, personally overseeing meals and transportation for residents.
  • Cleanliness & maintenance — The home is consistently described as clean and modern in appearance.
Worth asking about
  • Financial transparency — Reviews do not address pricing structure or how costs may change with higher levels of care, so families should ask about this directly.
  • Activities — There is little detail on daily programming or social activities, so it's worth confirming what a typical day looks like for residents.
  • Atmosphere & grounds — Reviews note the population is mostly male, so families should ask about resident mix and compatibility for their loved one.
