Frankie (shown lounging in the grass) was certified as a Therapy Dog In 2022 and we couldn’t be happier to have her “working” at Friendship Village! Frankie loves to make friends and visit in our Memory Care Neighborhood as she brings happiness to any room she’s in. When she’s not out and about, helping to make Friendship Village a happy place, she’s usually in Rebekah Manwarring’s office, waiting for visitors, treats and scritches. Frankie is a rescue dog and has worked hard with her training and socialization skills to become a Therapy Dog, so if you see her, give her a hand!

And we also have Clementine who is very sweet, furry team member at Friendship Village! Clementine has been with Nicole Summers since 2021 when Clementine was just a puppy. While she isn’t a certified Pet Therapy dog yet, she has become a great part of the Friendship Village family and is spoiled rotten with all the love she gets! Residents frequently come to Nicole’s office to say hello and Clementine also makes regular rounds in the Assisted Living and Memory Care neighborhoods. Clementine also stops by our Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation neighborhood every week to brighten the day of her friends there, too! Just look at that sweet face! We’re so lucky to have her!
