Friendship Village Sunset Hills sits in Sunset Hills and gives seniors a safe place to live, with choices like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, home health, private duty, and hospice care, and the place has a Life Care program so residents can always get support as care needs change. The campus covers many needs with furnished studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and even villa-style homes with garages and landscaped yards, so there are cozy spots for those who like privacy or fun spaces for social folks. The staff here includes nurses, administrators, and a resident care director keeping an eye on everyone's safety through a 24-hour call system, daily supervision, and help with bathing, dressing, medications, and getting around, and there's extra care for non-ambulatory people and for residents who may need to move from one care level to another.
The memory care here follows research-backed programs from the Center for Applied Research in Dementia (CARD), so folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia get special attention, daily routines, and creative activities like a big model train set and fitness gear, plus secure indoor and outdoor spaces, walking paths, a gazebo, and gentle water features. Residents everywhere get healthy meals from a professional chef, with by-request menus for allergies and diabetes, served in large bright dining rooms with restaurant seating, round tables, and wood floors, and family can visit and eat together in private rooms if they want to celebrate something special. There are housekeepers for laundry and cleaning, a concierge for help, coordinated move-in services, and even things like dry cleaning if needed, so daily living can be pretty comfortable.
On campus, there's plenty to do with fitness centers, walking trails, outdoor game courts for shuffleboard and bocce, a library, a business room, an arts-and-crafts space, a game room, a spa/wellness area, beauty and barbershop, a movie theater, and even a swimming pool, and residents lead some activities themselves, like clubs or music nights, while staff organize outings or rides on the bus to medical visits and fun trips in the community. You'll find Bible study, chapel services, and links to churches, plus other spiritual things for those who want them, and everyone can bring pets, visit with a barber, or just sit outside on covered patios with friends.
Skilled nursing and rehabilitation services work around the clock, with a care center boasting 74 private rooms and eight semi-private rooms, and licensed, Medicare/Medicaid-certified staff who help with everything from physical therapy to regular health needs, and for those needing more, there's home health care, private duty caregivers, or support for end-of-life through hospice and palliative care. Residents don't have to worry if their health needs shift, since the Life Care and CCRC model offers priority access across care levels, and there's a new Devonshire building with more apartment choices and an easy move-in process. Staff and administrators, overseen by a not-for-profit board, try to keep the place warm and cozy, encourage friendships, and support spiritual, physical, social, and emotional wellness through simple daily life and organized activities. Some folks here value staying active and join trips or fitness sessions, while others can relax or read, and everyone has access to high-speed internet, cable TV, and all utilities without fuss.
Residents benefit from a large management company, Life Care Services LLC, so the community runs pretty smoothly, and extra services like beauty appointments, extra laundry, or meals for guests are available for a small fee, and there's always someone to help coordinate moves or medical appointments. The community also has resources for families and professionals-including healthcare events, webinars, and a medical referral directory-plus a commitment to aging in place so people don't lose touch with friends or have to leave if their needs change. In all, Friendship Village Sunset Hills covers many senior living bases in one campus, lets people choose how much help or independence they want, and does its best to keep life peaceful, safe, and kind for everyone.
