I have been familiar with Friendship Village off and on for about 15 years, but it had been a while since I visited. Tonight I stopped in and I was blown away with the ability for the community to make the changes it has, yet still maintain the warm and welcoming environment it has become known for! After a quick stop at the Marketing office, my wife and I decided we would try out the Starfire Restaurant and Rooftop Brewery, since we heard that one of their brews just won a Phoenix magazine award. We decided to sit at the bar, and Joseph and Micheala treated us like gold! The selection of brews was fantastic (and delicious) and we happened to visit on prime rib night, which is a double win! I chose the prime rib, which was juicy and perfect, and my wife went with the salmon. Both of us agreed that the "Forget-Me-Not" was our drink of choice. All in all it was a fantastic experience, and Fabio has a great team there that makes him look good. I already knew they took wonderful care of their residents, but the amenities are the icing on the cake!
I moved in 8 months ago and so far I am happy with this choice. I am developing authentic friendships and have many opportunities to maintain and improve my physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being. I’m in the right place for this season of my life.
I've lived here for 10 years, and enjoyed it immensly. The amenities are being added and improved continuously. The culture of this village is very friendly and welcoming. There are a large variety of classes and activities available, but if a person wants peace and quiet, that is also available. The staff is great, and there seems to be little turn-over. The Kiwanis club recently hosted the annual Kentucky Derby party. Please see the incuded photos.
As a future resident, I am impressed and heartened at the thorough introduction to FVT from administration, staff and residents. We feel very welcome, and are already sampling the excellent dining, fitness center, thought provoking educational groups and inspiring art center.
Don and I selected FVT after 2 years of searching for a CCRC with multiple art studios, not one craft room. Thank God we kept looking. FVT has 6 professional studios -- weaving, fiber arts, wood & metal, painting, jewelry, and ceramics, plus room for others to pursue their interests. Having 24-hour access is incredible. And, all of these Makers have formed a coalition to encourage collaboration, learn new skills, and showcase our work. All in all, the best decision we have made!
