The 4 Perks of Being Part of a Growing Senior Living Community at Friendship Village
December 22, 2025 | Blog
Growth at a community like Friendship Village brings about new and exciting things. What makes that growth in senior living even better? The fact that we’re celebrating 50 years of meaningful connections and excellence to the residents who have called our senior living community “home.”
While residing on campus during a senior living expansion can bring about changes to the day-to-day—construction is always messiest before completion—those minor inconveniences are making way for major benefits.
Here are four exciting perks of being part of the growth in senior living at Friendship Village. And good news: the benefits of expansion in senior living apply whether you’re a current resident or considering us as your next home.
#1. We value your input and take it seriously. Dust and detours aside, it’s fun to watch construction taking place and see new buildings take shape before your eyes. And if you’re curious about the process—or have professional knowledge from life or work experience—being able to share feedback or ask questions makes you feel more invested. We welcome that and invite it. Our community growth is for you, your perspective matters, and your engagement is the foundation of our five-decade history.
#2. We help you establish your future for present peace of mind. In today’s world, the future is uncertain in so many ways. We can’t help you predict what’s coming, but we can offer a well-established senior living community which provides more than our newest independent living apartments. Our 72-acre campus is also home to memory care, skilled nursing, rehab, and assisted living—easily accessible if and when such supportive living options are needed.
#3. We believe a community that grows together stays strong together. Growth is a good sign! And as people live longer, more ways of enjoying their next chapter must grow too. Growing older with a community like Friendship Village gives you the benefit of stability in the midst of change. We know what works, and it’s worked well for 50 years. We also know how important it is to expand and provide new opportunities for an enriching lifestyle, enjoyable hobbies and pursuits, meaningful relationships and connections, and wellness in all dimensions.
#4. We want you to be pleasantly surprised. Yes, with change comes discomfort and inconveniences. Some of the unexpected changes may not always be welcome (like changes to opening dates if certain phases take longer). On the other side of that, we are excited to offer special first looks and previews to Priority Club members. Sometimes, the change in senior living makes daily life unexpectedly better. We’re ready for all of it, and we want to hear from you along the way.
