Friendship Haven

Friendship Haven sits at 420 Kenyon Road in Fort Dodge, and offers many living options for older adults, including independent living that's age-restricted and maintenance-free, assisted living for those who want help with daily needs, nursing care, and a memory care area called Journeys Memory Care for those living with dementia or Alzheimer's, and you'll find the Simpson Health Center right there too which gives extra support when folks need more medical attention. The nonprofit community tries to make residents feel comfortable and safe, with secured supportive housing units as well as comprehensive healthcare services and daily amenities. There's a full-time staff available to help with personal care, and care plans are made to fit each person's needs, whether it's skilled nursing care, rehabilitation services, or everyday support. Residents have access to recreational areas for leisure, a calendar filled with social, educational, and entertaining activities, and lots of opportunities to meet others through structured community life and programs. People can join wellness classes, take part in special community events, volunteer, or check out therapy programs like Rock Steady Boxing and LSVT Big and Loud therapy, which are meant to help those who have Parkinson's disease. Memory care services use personalized plans and activities to keep minds active. The community offers leadership training, catered living, and many social spaces where people naturally get to know one another, and staff work to support everyone's independence and well-being. The environment is welcoming and focused on helping residents make friends, take part in activities, and enjoy a safe and pleasant space to live.
