Services Offered

Friendship Manor is a 104-bed skilled nursing facility focusing primarily on post-hospitalization transitional care. Our greatest success is the ability to help patients recover and discharge back to home or to a lower level of care. We employ our own therapists and operate a large, fully contained therapy unit. Together with our nursing staff, our goal is to help patients achieve their highest level of functional independence.

We are licensed by both the California State Department of Health and the federal government. As such, our staff provides 24-hour-a-day nursing care and supervision to our patients. These services include assistance with activities of daily living (dressing, bathing, grooming, transfers, ambulation, etc.), feeding or assistance with meals, giving of medications, treatments, etc. The level of services provided to an individual patient can vary greatly depending on that patient’s needs.

Licensed nursing staff members are on duty 24 hours a day and work with a team of trained nursing assistants in providing nursing care for our patients.

Dining Experience

While many healthcare institutions hire outside catering companies, we are proud to produce all our meals independently and internally. Whether you’re enjoying our “Chef’s Special of the Day” or an item off of our “Select Menu,” our meals are freshly made.

We bake our own biscuits, rolls, muffins, and cornbread and use local bakeries to supply our fresh bread. Our desserts are prepared from scratch, and our meals are prime cuts roasted in our oven. Fresh soups are always prepared and slow-cooked on our stovetop.

We offer an abundance of fruits and vegetables, and extra servings are always available.

Our menus offer the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of fruits and vegetables every day.

Our meal program is nutritionally balanced, and all nutrients and ingredients are approved by dietitians and meet the California State standards of wellness and nutrition. Residents may request additional servings if they desire.

At Friendship Manor, residents have the option of tailoring their menus according to personal preference. We feature in-room, outdoor, therapeutic, and social dining experiences for our patients.

Patient Experience

I am a patient here and have had a very enjoyable experience. Right away, I noticed the very high morale. The caretakers always seemed very happy to be doing their job and highly motivated. The staff put an all-out effort to please the patients. There was a close focus on everything to help me be comfortable. There is a great team effort; everyone is very coordinated. I was very amazed at the feeling that I was treated as an individual and not just a number.
