    About Friendship Village Retirement Community

    Friendship Village Retirement is a vibrant senior living community committed to fostering deep connections and a genuine sense of belonging among all who call it home. The atmosphere at Friendship Village is centered around the philosophy that everyone who moves in becomes part of an extended family, making it easy for new residents to form immediate and lasting relationships with neighbors, staff members, and even furry companions. Community spirit is built into daily life, encouraging social engagement through a range of shared experiences, organized activities, hobby spaces, tournaments, and group outings. Residents can participate in overnight and day trips, and enjoy ongoing opportunities to socialize, learn, and celebrate life's milestones alongside friends old and new.

    This retirement community stands out as the only one in the Cedar Valley to offer Lifecare, a unique program designed to provide residents with financial peace of mind. With Lifecare, residents receive the security of knowing that their needs will be met, even as they change over time, without the risk of becoming financially dependent on family or needing to deplete a lifetime’s assets. This deep sense of security is complemented by a multi-faceted approach to wellbeing, focusing on physical, spiritual, social, and mental health. The professional and highly trained staff at Friendship Village are eager to offer individualized care, supporting each person’s evolving needs in a warm, faith-inspired environment.

    A true continuum of care is provided at Friendship Village, accommodating a range of lifestyles and health conditions. Options include 55+ Independent Living at Landmark Commons, which encourages active living and personal growth for those seeking a maintenance-free lifestyle. As needs change, residents may transition seamlessly to Assisted Living or specialized Memory Care within the community, or receive support at the Health Center, which provides skilled nursing, rehabilitative care, and palliative services. Friendship Village prides itself on its ability to support short-term stays, recovery after surgery, or long-term care, always personalizing services to each individual.

    Spiritual care is a cornerstone at Friendship Village, with opportunities for inspiration, reflection, and connection woven into daily life. The community nurtures every dimension of wellbeing, honoring retirement as a meaningful journey. Chaplain-led activities, therapy, volunteer opportunities, and social events enrich the experience for all. Residents hail from Cedar Falls, Waterloo, Waverly, Dunkerton, Independence, Evansdale, LaPorte City, Vinton, Hudson, Janesville, Grundy Center, and the greater Cedar Valley, making Friendship Village a diverse and welcoming place to live. With beautiful outdoor spaces, active residents, and a dedicated, compassionate team, Friendship Village Retirement is a place where individuals truly flourish, supported every step of the way.
