The opening of the new SAL Childhood Center Rock Island marks the debut of “Friendship Neighborhood,” a special intergenerational community at the corner of 12th Street and 21st Ave. SAL and Friendship Manor are working together on programming that will bring our residents together with SAL youth, bridging generational gaps and building a unique community of care and togetherness.

“Thank you to the entire team at Friendship Manor, especially in the Memory Care Unit where they
provided loving, caring and compassionate care for our mother. She enjoyed the staff who were so kind and loving.
She enjoyed sitting out on the beautiful outdoor patio, having coffee with friends and engaging in the other social activities there.
She was always treated like family and we knew she was happy and safe. I would highly recommend Friendship Manor.”
“What a difference Friendship Manor has made! Some of the nicest people you will ever meet, and they give you such peace of mind. Truly, when you know that your mom is happy and well taken care of, (not to mention having AMAZING food), life is better for everybody!
Thank you, Friendship Manor!"
"I live at Friendship Manor in a lovely apartment in Independent Living. Not one moment of regret in making this decision. I’m so glad I made this decision while I am still able to be active, participate in activities that interest me, of which there are many. I still have my car & participate in outside activities if I so choose. Best of both worlds, for sure."
"My husband and I have lived in a Villa Home at Friendship Manor for over 8 years and absolutely love it! We maintain our independent lifestyle with no lawn care or maintenance concerns. The staff is outstanding and responds to all of our needs."
"I really appreciate that Friendship Manor is a not-for-profit. That truly makes a difference. It’s such a comfort to know that if you outlive your savings, they have a charitable program and you won’t be turned out. And I must say, the food in the Bistro is just wonderful."
