I am sharing an experience from this past Saturday, February 22nd, 2025 at the Friendship Village in Sunset Hills. My spouse, friends, and I joined Rita F., a resident there, for dinner at Edelweiss. The experience was so good that I feel compelled to write a review. I recognize that this is limited in scope, but based on what I observed and heard from Rita, I believe that there is an awful lot of good happening here. Our dinner on Saturday night was fantastic. The food was delicious, and we were treated to multiple courses. Honestly, everything came out looking and tasting delicious, and I was truly impressed with the variety of food offerings and the quality and care with which it was prepared and served. We put in our orders and had our meals almost immediately! I had the pizza soup, the salad with onion vinaigrette, Shepard's pie, braised kale, and onion rings. The Shepard's pie looked as beautiful as it tasted! What set this experience apart was the quality of the staff and the attention to detail, both in the kitchen and on the dining room floor. Ashleigh was our server, and her warmth and rapport with Rita and with the other residents was beyond reproach. She treated folks like I hope my parents would be treated, and the love and kindness she demonstrated throughout our evening came off as totally natural and 100% sincere. It was not just her, though: the entire floor staff, including the manager, were truly as kind as could be. KUDOS TO THE DINING AND KITCHEN STAFF! The facility was beautiful, the residents are an incredibly social bunch, and based on what I experienced on Saturday evening, I feel that Friendship Village has built a culture of trust and kindness among their team members, which in turns translates to an outstanding living experience for the folks within their span of care.

The staff members in the skilled nursing building are very rude and unwelcoming. They refused to introduce themselves. I had no clue who was assisting me. The instructor told me I don’t need to know her name. I would not recommend this facility. They have created a hostile environment.
