Welcome to Friendship Haven

We wish we’d moved here sooner,” is a sentiment we often hear from our residents. Friendship Haven is a nonprofit continuing care community designed for residents to connect and thrive.

Our Campus

We promote active lifestyles in our independent living apartments and town homes, assisted living with the “just right” amount of support, extra help in our Simpson Health Center, and dementia and Alzheimer’s care in our Journeys building.
