Friendship Haven is a nonprofit continuing care community dedicated to promoting connection and thriving among its residents. Designed for adults seeking both independence and support as they age, Friendship Haven offers a comprehensive range of living options that foster aging in community. Located in Fort Dodge and serving the surrounding areas, the campus features independent living apartments and townhomes, assisted living accommodations, and specialized care environments, all set within vibrant, well-tended grounds.
The independent living options at Friendship Haven provide residents with an active and maintenance-free lifestyle. Individuals living independently can enjoy the security and peace of mind that comes from residing within a supportive community, free from the burdens and expenses of traditional home ownership. The thoughtful design of these apartments and townhomes, combined with a wealth of community activities and services, encourages residents to engage, build relationships, and explore new interests.
For those who require a bit of extra support, Friendship Haven’s assisted living offers the “just right” amount of daily assistance. Here, residents maintain choice and dignity, living in comfortable apartments surrounded by lush gardens and a caring staff. The focus on promoting relationships and holistic well-being is evident throughout the community, where spiritual, emotional, physical, vocational, social, and intellectual health are all nurtured. The Simpson Health Center provides additional care for residents who need more intensive help, ensuring a seamless transition for those whose needs change over time.
Friendship Haven also offers specialized memory care for individuals living with dementia or Alzheimer’s in the dedicated Journeys building. This setting is designed to provide compassionate support and a secure, engaging environment tailored to the unique needs of memory care residents. The campus’s Medicare-certified skilled nursing health center is well equipped to offer both short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing care. Residents benefit from a full range of wellness and medical services, including physical, occupational, restorative, and speech therapy, all provided on-site to maximize comfort and continuity of care.
Throughout the community, Friendship Haven emphasizes personal connection, dignity, and the importance of well-being in every aspect of daily life.
