Friendship Village, located in Dayton, Ohio, is a nonprofit senior living community situated on a 52-acre campus. The facility functions as a Life Plan Community, also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, and provides a full continuum of care, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation services. Recent updates to the campus include new independent living apartments and renovated healthcare and common areas, as part of an ongoing expansion project. Friendship Village is accredited by CARF, indicating recognized standards in service delivery.

Within its nursing and rehabilitation center, Friendship Village offers 24-hour skilled nursing care and a comprehensive rehabilitation program that includes physical, occupational, and speech therapies, available to both short-term and long-term residents. Residents can access regular wellness checks and monitoring by nursing staff. Additional services include on-site chaplain support, respite care for temporary stays, a barber shop and beauty salon, and clinics for podiatry and audiology. Therapy sessions are conducted in a designated therapy room. Staff provide full assistance with activities of daily living, including bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting.

Resident and family feedback regarding the nursing, rehab, and assisted living areas is polarized. A significant portion of reviews express concerns about chronic staffing shortages, poor maintenance and cleanliness—including reports of mold, stained carpets, and bedbugs—along with medication and dietary neglect, medical errors, unprofessional conduct, and difficulties in communication with both staff and administration. Issues such as theft, unresolved payments, and lack of staff responsiveness are also noted. Conversely, a minority of reviews, mostly centering on the independent living sections, describe positive experiences with attentive staff, a supportive environment, and well-maintained surroundings. Overall, while Friendship Village offers a broad spectrum of services and is supported by recent facility investments and CARF accreditation, many residents and families have reported ongoing concerns regarding care quality, staff professionalism, and facility maintenance in certain care areas.
