Friendship Village Of Tempe

Friendship Village Of Tempe sits at 2645 E Southern Ave in Tempe, AZ, and folks around here know it as the East Valley's only Life Care community, which really means it's a place where people can stay as care needs change, so you start with independent living and then move to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or rehabilitation if you need more help, and they call the whole set-up a continuing care retirement community, or CCRC, which is a mouthful but mostly means if you want to stay in one spot as you get older, you can. The campus feels like a friendly spot with a big-family feel-pet-friendly, too, which is nice if you don't want to leave your animal behind-and they offer different living options from apartment homes with their own kitchens, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and patios, to more supportive living, with staff ready to help with bathing, dressing, and medicine, all while keeping dignity and choices at the center, and you'll find the staff described as helpful, joyful, and kind. The buildings have plenty of light with big windows, modern decor, stylish common rooms, game areas, art studios, and a fitness center, plus there's a pool if you like to swim, and a few dining venues with chef-prepared meals that lean toward healthy, nutritious ingredients, which folks seem to appreciate. Outside, there are patios and places to walk, so you aren't stuck inside if you want fresh air, and they do a good job putting together group activities for almost every interest-art, excursions, brewery trips, and fitness classes, so there's usually something going on if you want to be social, or you can do your own thing. The place has 128 skilled nursing beds and a clinic run by physicians, so if you need help with health issues or rehabilitation, you don't have to travel far, plus general counseling's on hand and primary care as well, and all that adds up to long-term security for people worried about their future care needs. Residents age 62 and up can choose from different floor plans with pricing options, and the independent living side lets you avoid a lot of chores since maintenance is included, and if memory or health problems crop up, they have personalized support. The community puts a lot of effort into making things easy and low-stress, focusing on respect, safety, and letting people live as independently as they can with help when needed, and over the years, families and residents have noticed and given strong reviews, even resulting in awards like the Best of Senior Living All Star Award and another for exceptional care and support. Overall, Friendship Village Of Tempe offers a straightforward mix of independence and support, with a welcoming group of neighbors and staff, and enough choices that most folks can find some comfort and activity, whether you're looking for peace and quiet or something more lively.
