    Clean Caring Active Christian Community

    I'm very pleased with this community - the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and communicate well with our family. The place is very clean, well kept, and welcoming; residents stay active with bingo, daily activities, group meals and charming wall-gardens. It's a caring, Christian-focused environment (shared wing with a daycare adds lively energy). The layout and rooms are solid if not luxurious, but my loved one is happy and well cared for.

    Summary of reviews

    Overall impression Friendship Home presents as a tidy, well-kept senior living community with a generally positive resident atmosphere. Reviews emphasize cleanliness, maintained dรฉcor (including prominent wall-gardens), and residents who appear active and socially engaged. The setting includes a faith-based (Christian-focused) orientation and an intergenerational element via an adjacent daycare wing, which contributes to communal energy for many residents.

    Care and staff Caregiving is described as warm and compassionate; staff are characterized as welcoming, courteous, and knowledgeable. Families report that staff communicate effectively about residents' needs and status. At the same time, there is an isolated but serious allegation from a reviewer concerning inappropriate conduct by an agency staff member; this suggests a potential gap in oversight of contracted personnel and is an area families should query during tours or admissions discussions.

    Dining and activities The community appears to provide regular communal dining and structured activity programming. Daily activities and organized social events such as bingo are mentioned specifically, and reviewers describe residents as busy and engaged. Group meals and opportunities for social interaction are recurring strengths, supporting an active daily rhythm for residents.

    Facilities and accommodations Physical spaces are described as solid and well maintained; the layout and rooms are functional but not upscale, aligning with a practical, service-oriented facility rather than a luxury setting. Decorative touches (wall-gardens) and general upkeep contribute to a welcoming environment. The shared wing with a daycare creates intergenerational interaction, which some families will value and others may want to assess for noise or privacy preferences.

    Management and notable patterns Management and direct-care staff receive positive marks for communication with families and day-to-day responsiveness. The primary operational concern signaled in the reviews is inconsistent behavior or professionalism among contracted/agency staff โ€” an issue that points to supervision and vendor-management practices rather than core day-to-day caregiving by permanent staff. Prospective residents and families may want to ask management about contract-staff oversight, staff training and retention, room specifications, and the facility's approach to privacy versus intergenerational programming. Overall, Friendship Home appears to suit individuals seeking a clean, community-oriented, faith-based environment with active programming and attentive front-line staff; due diligence around contracted personnel and room amenity expectations is advisable.

    About Friendship Home

    Friendship Home Association sits at 714 N Division St in Audubon, Iowa, and has been serving seniors for over 20 years in a Christian setting with a focus on compassion and resident choice, and it's part of a retirement community for those 55 and older, and the facility opens from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays, although staff stay on-site all day and night for emergencies so if a resident ever needs help at any hour, someone's always there. Friendship Home Association offers a wide range of care types, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, continuing care, rehabilitation, respite care, home care, and hospice services, so families can find support for different needs, whether it's short-term recovery or longer-term care, and the building includes a secured memory and dementia unit with structured routines and an outdoor courtyard that's safe for wandering or confusion, plus skilled staff can provide insulin monitoring, incontinence and non-ambulatory care, and help with moving from beds to wheelchairs.

    Residents can choose from several room types, like Studio, One Bedroom, Two Bedroom, Semi-Private, and private rooms, and all come with cable television, regular cleaning and laundry service, and meal provision, with a team of chefs and meal planners making sure meals are both tasty and nutritious, which takes the burden of cooking away. The community provides a wide selection of activities, both on and offsite, from fitness classes with equipment and morning exercises to spiritual gatherings, devotional activities, games, and a Friendship Forum Newsletter that keeps people informed about events and happenings inside Friendship Home. There are indoor and outdoor common spaces, including gardens, walking paths, and places to sit or socialize, as well as an on-site beauty and barber shop, so people don't have to go far for a haircut or a bit of pampering, and a minivan is available for group excursions or local appointments when residents need to get out and about.

    When it comes to paying for services, Friendship Home accepts private pay, Social Security, veterans' benefits, and commercial insurance, with different care levels and room types available at separate price points-there's a community fee, respite fee, and options for short-term stays, and families can go online at friendshiphome.com to check out reviews, financing options, photos, and all the fee details, or they can schedule a tour or ask about costs and availability using a simple form. The staff at Friendship Home help with daily living like bathing, dressing, and managing medicines, and they're trained in memory care for folks dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia, offering special therapies and a secure environment, plus there's skilled nursing with 24-hour coverage and therapies like physical, occupational, and speech to help residents improve or maintain their independence as much as possible.

    Friendship Home Association works with hospice providers to bring comfort and palliative services to those who need them most, and the facility keeps a warm, friendly atmosphere without being fancy or overwhelming, where Christian values guide care but people from all walks of life are welcome. You'll find private rooms, outdoor gardens, organized activities, and people dedicated to helping each resident live well and safely, no matter what stage of life they're in.

    No, Friendship Home does not offer respite care. Respite care in assisted living communities provides temporary, short-term relief for primary caregivers by offering professional care for their loved ones. It allows individuals to stay in an assisted living community for a limited time, giving caregivers a break while ensuring residents receive necessary support and assistance with daily activities.
