What Friends House has on record

Nothing on record yet.

Not listed doesn’t mean not offered. It means there’s no record, so ask.

Also listed on their website

  • Personalized support for assisted living

Being on record means the state or Friends House lists it. It doesn’t mean they’ve accepted your senior or have a room.

Cost Where this comes fromPrices and rooms come from the community’s own website, dated when we saw them. The typical range uses communities nearby that publish prices.

Rooms, prices and how families pay

Price on request

Friends House doesn’t publish prices. Most small homes share prices by phone or email.

Rating & safety How to read thisThese are the state’s own categories. Type A: problems that, if not corrected, put residents’ health, safety or rights at direct and immediate risk. Type B: problems that could become a risk without correction, or record-keeping problems that affect care. Both must be corrected. Complaints the state didn’t confirm are shown but never counted against the community.

    After visiting many of the senior communities in the area without feeling drawn to any of them, a friend recommend Friends House. It's lovely setting among the trees and its garden cottages made me feel at home. Everyone I met was friendly, the staff generous with their time and happy to answer any questions.

    Met with Paddy and Brandy to get an introduction to the community. Spoke with several residents who love the place, the people, and their active lives. I like the non-institutional atmosphere, 'garden' apts. facing green space, 100 fruit trees. My parents are considering Friends House as their new home, and I would support their decision to be here 100 percent.
