    About Friendship Place

    Friendship Place sits out in Columbia, Maryland, about 30 miles from Washington, D.C., and you'll find it's got this small-town feel even though it's set in a bigger area, and the thing about it is, they really focus on welcoming folks and helping people make and keep friendships, with lots of support for getting to know others and being part of the community, so there's a bunch of programs and daily activities planned out to help everyone talk, share meals, play games, and just spend time together, and the staff there put a real effort into making things friendly and comfortable, especially for people who want to keep active with volunteering, because the place asks volunteers be at least 14 years old and they do like bringing in people to help with all sorts of things. The actual buildings are set up with five private and semi-private assisted living apartments, and you'll see the rooms are clean, pretty quiet, and made to offer both privacy and a sense of togetherness if someone wants it, and as far as care goes, there's a little bit of everything-standard assisted living, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, respite care for caregivers who need a break, hospice care, and even something they call "Always Caring" where they really try to keep an eye on both the health and the happiness side of life.

    Now, every resident can count on staff being there around the clock, always ready to help with everyday stuff like bathing, getting dressed, help in and out of bed, medication reminders, and handling things like toileting or incontinence, plus there's special care plans if anyone needs more support like speech therapy, diabetic care, or help after an illness or injury, and all the medical oversight you'd expect, including regular monthly doctor checkups and a nurse on staff, and they're good about offering care that matches what each person needs-some folks need just a little help, and others need more. There's a genuine focus on meals and nutrition too, with one or two prepared meals every single day in a big dining room, meals can be changed if someone needs a special diet, and there's even an on-site dietitian making sure food fits everyone's needs, and they keep it social during mealtimes, letting people visit with neighbors, plus there's a little bistro and kitchen spaces if someone wants to snack or fix tea between meals.

    You'll find the activities keep things lively, whether it's art, music, pet therapy, tabletop games, movie nights, group fitness, reading in a book room, or just relaxing outside in garden areas, and for folks who want to get some fresh air, there are walking paths and spots to sit with friends by the lakes, with a regular calendar of community-sponsored events and outings to local places like restaurants, shops, theaters, or parks, and if someone wants to go farther, they offer driving support, scheduled transportation, and can help coordinate trips for appointments or errands. Amenities include a game room, TV lounge, computer room, fitness center, sauna, jacuzzi, hair salon, and even a barbershop-plus Wi-Fi and phones in common areas-so people can stay connected or just unwind as they like, and there's always an option for companions to join in scheduled events. The place is pet-friendly for cats and dogs, and security systems are set up to keep everyone safe, with easy access both indoors and outside for folks with wheelchairs or walkers.

    Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services come standard, which means residents don't have to fuss with cleaning or chores, so more time is open for the fun stuff or just relaxing, and the whole place is run by a dedicated staff that aims to keep things running smoothly, respectful, and warm, with individualized care plans and extra support for memory challenges, high acuity, or physical needs. Friendship Place can accept up to seven people, usually aged 62 and over, and can work with state subsidies if someone's income fits eligibility, and again, the idea is to make sure everyone feels welcome and cared for, all in a setting that looks and feels a bit like a village, peaceful but always open to friendship and connection.
