Come Grow With Us: The Benefits of Joining the Priority Club at Friendship Village
December 19, 2025 | Blog
You know what they say about the early bird, right? Get in on all the excitement and perks of our independent living community expansion The Atlee, by joining the Priority Club at Friendship Village!
Our Michigan senior living community is growing—and that’s a good sign. As we celebrate 50 years of serving older adults and families in the Kalamazoo area, we’re thrilled to take this next step of providing more independent living space for engagement, enrichment, and effortless senior living.
Progress Requires Patience
Yes, a community expansion project means construction, and with that, you may experience some “pardon our dust” types of growing pains. Building anything new—even when it’s part of a well-established community—requires a level of patience and flexibility.
It’s also exciting to watch things take shape, and as a Priority Club member, you’ll have a front row seat as our independent living options multiply. You’ll also get a chance to weigh in on the progress and provide input.
Whether you’re 5 or 75, we know it’s hard to wait for good things. We hope the time will fly for our Priority Club members, who get the inside scoop on updates, special previews, and opportunities to engage with the current resident community—building anticipation in all the best ways. Speaking of anticipation, there will be other perks…but we can’t spill all the beans just yet!
How the Priority Club Works
We value you, and we value your engagement in the midst of this community growth. We’ve built the perks of our Priority Club on these values. By joining The Atlee Priority Deposit Club, you’ll get early access to floor plan selections—choose from three thoughtfully designed spaces ranging from 992 square feet to 1377 square feet.
Footages aside, The Aster, The Iris, and The Orchid are all beautiful places to call home for your retirement living chapter—in a senior living community that’s already established and always looking towards the future.
Here’s how it works:
- Secure your Priority Club status with a fully refundable deposit.
- Enjoy access to early selection of available independent living apartment homes.
- Receive invites to exclusive member-only events on our senior living campus.
- See design and construction previews of The Atlee before the general public.
Be Part of The Friendship Village Future
If you’ve been on the fence about moving to senior living, we understand. It’s a huge decision and major transition. It’s also a way to establish peace of mind for the potential decisions and transitions that may come in later life with changes to health, income, or housing. Our community offers supportive living options like assisted living and memory care, should the need arise.
Our new independent living building, The Atlee, will feature 76 beautifully appointed apartment homes that combine elegant design with modern convenience. Picture yourself in light-filled spaces with contemporary finishes, and access to an expansive new common area—perfect for when friends and family come to visit you! There’s also a cozy gathering space with a welcoming fireplace and a brand-new dining venue where chef-prepared meals are served in a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Besides the access to care, ambiance, and apartment amenities, choosing independent living means letting go of the weight that comes with maintaining a house—making room for personal growth, enrichment, and new experiences.
