About Friendship Village
Friendship Village brings together independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing in one Dayton neighborhood, giving families flexible options as needs change. Residents here find daily life supported by 12–16 hour nursing, medication management, and help with bathing, dressing, and transfers—all designed to encourage independence while providing safety nets. The community stands out for its wide range of amenities: a library, fitness room, walking paths, movie nights, music programs, and even a spa. Meals are chef-prepared with attention to special diets, and transportation helps residents stay connected to the wider community. While the average monthly cost is higher than some local options, the breadth of care and activities aims to justify the investment for families seeking comprehensive support[1]. Highlights: - Multiple care levels under one roof, from independent living to skilled nursing - Chef-prepared meals with options for special dietary needs - Robust activity calendar with fitness, arts, and social events
