Friendship Village — the Only Life Care Community in the St. Louis Area

Friendship Village is a Life Care Community, which makes its pricing and value unique in St. Louis. Secured by an entrance fee and a monthly service fee, Life Care gives you access to a full continuum of care, at essentially the same fee as your current residence. Think of it as an insurance policy, but one that covers your living expenses should you need to transition to Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation or Memory Care. No other community in the St. Louis area offers The Life Care Difference.
