Friendship Village Tempe offers three levels of care that allow residents to age in place without moving to a new campus. Independent Living is designed for older adults who can manage most daily activities on their own but want access to on-site health resources and a built-in plan for future needs. Assisted Living provides help with activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication administration, delivered by certified caregivers under the supervision of licensed nurses who are on campus around the clock. The Memory Care program serves residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia in a secured area, using structured routines, specialized staff training, and individualized care plans. Across all levels, residents have access to emergency call systems, routine health monitoring, scheduled physician visits, and coordination with outside specialists and hospitals in the Tempe area.
In addition to direct medical services, the community offers a range of wellness supports to help residents maintain strength and mobility. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy can be arranged on site, and rehabilitation suites are available for short-term recovery after illness or surgery. A staff dietitian works with the clinical team to manage dietary restrictions related to diabetes, heart disease, or other chronic conditions. Regular health education sessions, preventive screenings, and vaccination clinics are organized to keep residents informed and up to date on their healthcare. Transportation to off-site medical appointments is available, and care coordinators help track follow-up instructions and prescription refills.
Accommodations at Friendship Village Tempe include a mix of studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, as well as private suites within the Memory Care neighborhood. Units may feature kitchenettes, full kitchens, in-unit laundry, walk-in closets, or patios, though not all accommodations have all the features. Basic utilities, cable, and weekly housekeeping are included, and maintenance staff handle repairs. Safety features such as grab bars, step-in showers, and emergency pull cords are standard in assisted living and memory care units.
Residents take their meals in multiple dining venues that range from a formal dining room to a casual bistro. Daily menus are prepared by culinary staff working with the community dietitian to ensure balanced nutrition and compliance with physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium or gluten-free options. Entrée choices are available at each meal, and snacks are provided throughout the day, especially in the Memory Care area where smaller, more frequent servings can help maintain weight and hydration. Room service can be arranged during illness or recovery, and guest meals are available for visiting family members.
