Re-Establishing Friendship
“Our seniors today differ from the first through our doors in 1979. They have different needs and are looking for upgraded amenities. We are rising to meet those desires with this expansive plan of improvement,” Friendship Manor President and CEO Ted Pappas Jr. said of the $12.5 million Re-Establishing Friendship project. “The plans have been unveiled to current residents and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We are heading in the right direction for our future.”

“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!"
