Friendship Manor was established over 35
years ago with the goal of providing affordable, safe, and sanitary housing for
the elderly over 62 and the disabled. Friendship Manor is a HUD
subsidized, non-profit, equal housing opportunity
facility and one of the first in the country planned for older persons of all
economic backgrounds.
The problem of housing for the increasing
number of our elderly over the age of 62 years has in recent years become a
major concern to society. Medicare, by prolonging their healthful years,
has contributed to the growing pressure for more and better facilities to take
care of the special needs of active older persons.
Sociological changes in family life have
eliminated the need for keeping the "old family home" for future generations.
Young families have acquired a new mobility. Seldom in this technological
age can they remain for long in the ancestral home.
It is for the parent or parents, left alone
when children are gone, that Friendship Manor was conceived. It provides a
little less space and more convenience, a little less time for housekeeping and
more time for leisure, a little less loneliness and more companionship, with
privacy, security and pleasant surroundings thrown in. It provides a way
of life for people - by people who care about other people.
