Friendship Haven Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center sits over at 1500 Sunset Drive in Friendswood, Texas, and folks will find here a skilled nursing facility that helps older adults with many different needs, whether they're looking for long-term care, memory care, assisted living, or a place to recover after something like surgery. The center cares for people who need help with daily tasks, like bathing, dressing, walking, or keeping track of medicine, and there's a team made up of licensed nurses, therapists, and doctors who keep an eye on each resident's medical needs. People with Alzheimer's disease or other dementia can live in special secure areas, so they'll have therapies and activities in a place that helps them feel safe and less confused. The center offers independent living for healthy, active seniors who want to spend time with friends, join group activities, or relax in shared spaces, like the lobby with its fireplace and chandelier, though they'll always have help nearby if they need it.
Some residents want to go back home again, and Friendship Haven has a restorative team who'll work with therapists on things like walking, strength, and pain, hoping to restore skills so people can live on their own again, but there are also many people who need round-the-clock care and medical support. The homes have centrally located baths and showers, private or semiprivate rooms with emergency call buttons at all times, and the staff speak English. They provide physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus plenty of activities-bingo, crafts, group exercise, and even religious programs-so life there doesn't feel dull or lonely. For folks who want to stay in their own homes, there are home care aides who'll drop by to give non-medical support and friendly company.
Families are invited to help decorate and bring in familiar things, so their loved one can feel more settled. Medicare and Medicaid approve the center and there's a commitment to resident rights and treating everyone fairly. The provider directory gets updated every month, but right now they're not open for new admissions. Respite stays are possible, and a long-term care ombudsman helps work out any problems residents have. Photos of the place are on the website and Facebook page, and the mission here talks about keeping the standards high and caring for every resident as an individual. People can expect to find advanced healthcare technology, ongoing rehab programs, and a steady focus on safety and comfort, whether someone's staying short-term, long-term, or needing specialized memory care in a safe and caring space.
