Friendship Place

Friendship Place is conveniently located just 30 miles outside of Washington, D.C., in Columbia, Maryland. Although the town has a population of over 100,000, Columbia manages to retain a small-town feel. Seniors and their visitors can enjoy all the local amenities a large town has to offer, including restaurants, shopping malls, museums and theaters. They also have the opportunity to explore the city's lakes and parks.

Friendship Place offers assisted living in five private and semiprivate apartments. Staff is on hand 24 hours a day to assist residents with activities of daily life, including bathing, transferring, and medication reminders. The facility offers speech and occupational therapy services, and seniors receive a monthly check-up by a doctor. Meals are prepared to cater to individual dietary needs.

Seniors are encouraged to take part in the daily recreational activities arranged by Friendship Place. Communal indoor areas can be used for reading or relaxing, and there's a computer room and on-site barbershop for residents to use. Seniors can enjoy the outdoor common areas that are designed for ease of access. Family members are welcome to attend the many gatherings and outings that the facility organizes throughout the year.

The best way to get to know a community is by scheduling a tour. See the facilities, meet the staff and residents, and get a feel firsthand what it's like to live at Friendship Place.
