My Experience with Friendship village

My grandmother, Esther Wyman (Deceased) lived at Woodside memory care for almost a year. I am impressed with the effort and care towards the elderly. During the time that she lived there i would come in at least once a week to visit her,i was able to make real connections with the staff/residents. Many of the staff recommended I apply thinking I would be a natural fit. I am familiar with the layout of the facility,the rules and alot of the employees and residents.
