Friendly Valley - Senior Living Community sits in Santa Clarita, California, and serves people aged 55 and older who want an adult living center with a focus on golf, recreation, and care for seniors. The community has two private golf courses-one's a nine-hole executive course, the other's an 18-hole pitch and putt-plus a golf driving range, so people who like the game have options. The place is fully gated with a guard at the entrance, which adds a layer of security for those living there. Most homes come with enclosed patio sunrooms and have solar panels with a whole-house battery storage setup, so there's extra peace of mind if the power goes out. The HOA dues cover cable and internet. There's both independent and assisted living, along with nursing care, and services for people needing memory care, so residents can usually stay as their needs change.
If you like activities, the staff and residents organize daily things to do, like movie nights, music programs, and walking clubs. There's an auditorium that can seat 400 for big events and has space for up to 300 to dine, and there are separate card rooms for men and women, a fitness center you can use any day, a billiard room, bumper pool, and darts. The outdoor grounds include a basketball court, lawn bowling area, shuffleboard, picnic and barbecue area, walking paths, swimming pool, spa, and park-like open spaces where people can gather. The clubhouse is often used for community gatherings.
They aim to promote social connections, so there's communal dining with restaurant-style meals, and you'll find meals prepared by a chef, including allergy-sensitive choices. Residents can get help with bathing, dressing, and moving between areas, and a 24-hour call system connects them to health support anytime. Housekeeping, laundry, concierge, and family support services make daily life easier, and furnished rooms come with private bathrooms, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and kitchenettes. Emergency alert systems and a wellness room are on site.
Healthcare runs close by, with clinics, a pharmacy, and urgent care in the area. The community also sponsors arts rooms, game spaces, a library, and a calendar of activities for people to join, so there's hardly ever a dull week. They offer transportation and parking services for when people need to get out or have guests. Friendly Valley is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC)-meaning residents can move from independent to assisted living or memory care as their needs change, and nursing care is available on the same property.
The condos date back to 1963 and sit on just over seven and a half acres, with country club-type amenities and a general approach toward providing for many kinds of needs, from healthcare to daily recreation, and a secure, supportive place where seniors can live as actively, and as independently, as possible.
