PositiveI am/was a resident of this facility
I'm in Friendship Haven, in independent living called Kenyon Place. When available, they're going to move me to another room that wouldn't be so expensive. I had to buy in when I came here and if I run out of money they will start using that money instead of saving it for my estate. Then, if that runs out, they will work out something to get help so that I don't have to leave. They're extremely friendly. It's not just one, big, long building. They have about four or five streets that r…

We toured Friendship Haven and met with Mandy. She was very friendly in walking us around the perimeter. They have several different assisted living units, and they have a full on nursing home. We toured all of them. She showed us the assisted living side called The Gardens that was more of a dependent type of style, while the other one was more of an independent style. She showed us their exercise room, physical therapy room, spa, and a library. It's a pretty nice and very clean facility.

We went to see Friendship Haven in Fort Dodge and saw their skilled nursing facility. It was very nice, very clean, and the people working there seemed very attentive. The people that were staying there seemed very happy there too. It looks like a good place.

Friendship Haven is a large retirement community that can serve independent residents, those who need assisted living and also those who need nursing care. When I first became familiar with Friendship Haven, it was a wonderful place with wonderful staff and an environment that was inviting and warm. My mother loved her room and enjoyed the options available to her. Back in 2013, they completed construction on a new nursing home and moved all the residents to their new homes. It is a lovely place, however, something…

Friendship Haven is a very excellent facility. It is very large. It has all the amenities for the people there. It covers all phases of aging. When there comes a point in time when they need more care, they can go into another facility. And then when they need end-of-life care, there’s another facility for that as well. It has all phases of care. It also has independent living. My wife is a retired hospice nurse and she also visited all the facilities in Fort Dodge, Iowa. Her assessment was that Friendship Haven is…
