Friends Homes West in Greensboro, North Carolina, offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, giving residents the choice between daily support and a more self-directed lifestyle. Staff members are trained to address diabetes management, ensuring that glucose monitoring, medication reminders, and dietary needs are handled consistently. Residents who transition from Independent Living to Assisted Living can do so without leaving the community, maintaining continuity in their medical oversight.

Additional clinical resources are available on site to address changing health needs. Licensed nurses are present for routine assessments, medication administration, and coordination with outside physicians. Continuing care is available, so long-term planning can be accomplished without multiple moves. The community provides incontinence and ambulatory support, and resident and family counseling helps everyone remain involved in care decisions.

Apartment styles differ in size and layout, but many feature access to outdoor areas and gardens, encouraging time outside for relaxation or light exercise. Select units include in-home washers and dryers; however, these appliances are not standard in every residence. Common housekeeping and maintenance services are available to all residents.

Daily meals are included in the monthly package, covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner with attention to special dietary needs such as diabetic-friendly options. Residents who prefer to cook occasionally may do so in their own kitchenettes, but the community’s dining program is structured to remove the burden of meal planning and grocery shopping.

Residents have access to an activity center for exercise classes, games, and group events. A library and computer lounge support quiet study, internet access, and email communication with family. Clubs and special-interest communities meet regularly, offering structured social interaction that can be tailored to individual hobbies and preferences.
