Memory Care Assisted Living at Friendship Village

Memory Care Assisted Living at Friendship Village is part of Friendship Village Tempe, a life plan community on East Southern Avenue in Tempe. The operator describes the campus as the East Valley’s only Life Care community and says residents have access to the broader community’s social life, events, and amenities. On the memory care side, Friendship Village uses its Heartfelt CONNECTIONS program for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias. The program focuses on residents’ abilities, customized reminiscence tools, and individualized programming designed to support dignity, purpose, and quality of life.

The memory care neighborhood is described as secure and highly supervised, with certified resident assistants available 24/7 and licensed staff providing wellness monitoring. The operator also notes private apartments and showers, intimate household areas for small groups, an indoor/outdoor walking path, a serene garden with a granite water feature, a fireplace in the family area, and a whirlpool spa with music. Daily support includes personal care assistance, medication administration, housekeeping, flat laundry services, and assistance to and from meals. Three nutritious meals and daily snacks are included, and pet therapy is part of the program.

Assisted living on campus adds another care layer with private apartment homes, 24/7 certified and licensed practical nurse coverage, medication management, and help with activities of daily living. The community’s campus-oriented setup may appeal to families looking for continuity if needs change over time, though prospective residents should confirm current availability, pricing, and which services are included at the specific neighborhood level before making a decision.
