Friendship Haven, Inc. in Fort Dodge provides three primary living settings—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so residents can move to the level of daily support that matches their needs. Each living option is supported by licensed staff who coordinate with residents’ physicians, monitor health status, and oversee medication management to help maintain safety and independence.

The community supplements its core living options with additional medical programs. Short-stay Respite Care is available for recovery after illness or to give family caregivers a break. A Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program addresses breathing issues through supervised exercise and education, while Diabetes Care includes blood-glucose monitoring and nutrition oversight. On-site services cover Incontinence Care, Ambulatory Care for those who need help moving about, Medication Coordination to track prescriptions, and access to Hospice and skilled Nursing Care when needed.

Apartments and suites vary by size and layout, and not every unit contains the same features, but many include parking access, most utilities other than phone and cable, and the community’s Skynet technology platform that links residents to staff. Electronic Medication Administration Records are used to track prescriptions accurately, and landscaped outdoor areas give residents a place to spend time outside.

Dining is handled by an in-house culinary team that serves three daily meals. Menus are planned to meet general dietary guidelines as well as individual physician-ordered restrictions, and staff are available to assist residents who require help during meal service.

Residents can take part in regularly scheduled social, educational, and recreational events, many of which occur in the community’s activity center. These programs are designed to maintain engagement, encourage physical movement, and promote social interaction among residents.
