Friendship Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits as a 104-bed skilled nursing facility that's focused mostly on helping people who need care after leaving the hospital, and really, this place has a lot to offer in a quiet, steady way, with a fully contained therapy unit that has its own therapists along with round-the-clock licensed nursing staff and trained nursing assistants who help with medication, treatments, and all those everyday needs like dressing, bathing, grooming, and even just getting around. There's an Adult Residential Facility for folks who need a home-like setting, and the center also includes Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Independent Living options, so whether it's someone who needs a little help each day or someone who needs more support, there's a way to get care here. The center's got a Mental Health Rehabilitation Center, a secured 36-bed Special Treatment Unit with on-site psychiatric and psychological care, and it handles substance recovery and behavioral health through special programs, which really helps people dealing with more than just physical needs.
Meals are all made in-house by a staff that bakes bread fresh, whips up desserts from scratch, and slow-cooks soups, with a menu that's dietitian-approved and meets California State nutrition standards, and folks can even tailor their meals or pick where they want to eat, whether that's in their rooms, outdoors, or at group dinners. The center is big on connection, so residents can join in for movie nights, family dinners by candlelight, bingo, casino games, live music, religious services, pet therapy, and arts and crafts-there's a lot going on most days, and there's even a garden for those who like to be outside and a library with books on tape for quiet moments.
Every room comes with personal cable TV and a telephone, wireless internet, and there's staff to help with laundry and cleaning too, while the building's got guest parking, safety features like sprinklers and handicap access, and a salon-barbershop for people who want to feel fresh. The facility lets families visit and get involved, with group activities for families and education nights, trying to make sure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. For those who need it, the center helps with feeding and getting from place to place, offers transportation services, and covers a wide range of medical needs, including podiatry and wound care.
Community reviews hover around the middle, with a sentiment rating of 3.3 out of 5 and a value score of 3.2 out of 5, so people seem to have had mixed experiences but, all things considered, the focus here stays on kindness, competence, and compassion, with staff who try to give everyone enough attention and help folks stay as independent as they can for as long as possible. Friendship Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation Center keeps things simple and steady, looking to make life a little bit easier, safer, and friendlier for seniors in need of care, whether they're here for a short stay or calling it home.
