Welcome to the Friendship Villages’ February 24, 2022 COVID-19 update. As we approach the second anniversary of encountering COVID-19 in our area, we are pleased to report that there has been a significant reduction in the number of COVID cases on campus.  Virtually zero new cases, except in the increasingly rare instance when someone brings it back from a stay in the hospital. For this reason, Friendship Villages has now changed the mask and screening policy that pertains to Independent Living on our campuses. Masks are now optional for all […]

Effective Tuesday, January 4th, […]

Welcome to the Friendship Villages’ December 20, 2021 COVID-19 update. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Friendship Villages! As we recall, virtually all residents received the full regimen of vaccinations last winter and, since then, more than 1,000 residents, including all levels of care on both campuses, have received COVID vaccination booster shots.  Many others sought boosters on their own and would add to this number.
