Independent Living

Happy Resident Smiling

Current residents advise joining our independent living options at Friendship Haven sooner rather than later to fully enjoy everything we offer. Moving to our town homes or Kenyon Place brings peace of mind, relieving you of home ownership expenses and the stress of maintaining and selling a home later. This proactive choice allows you to pursue your current adventures while ensuring security for the future.

Testimonials

  • "I was kind of young and lost my husband. If I'd lived in a house, I would have just isolated and stayed by myself. So I'm glad I was here because volunteering gave me an outlet. So many people around here helped me find my way. I think God put me here for a reason."

  • "We’re happy to be here, and our kids are glad we decided to move to Friendship Haven. Everyone here is so friendly. We haven’t seen a grouch yet!"

Testimonials

  • "You don’t ever have to call another plumber or electrician. We still love puttering in the yard, but we wouldn’t have to do that if we didn’t like doing it. I’m so glad we made the move."

  • "Nick and I moved in to our two bedroom two bathroom double garage condo in November 2015. It was the best decision we have made. Friendship Haven takes care of the lawn, snow shoveling, maintenance plus we have access to van transportation. As we get older and need additional help, we have priority to move to the main building."
