Appreciation from every direction at the annual Resident-Employee Appreciation Holiday Gathering. Our staff is so grateful to have the opportunity to work near and with some many wonderful people every day. As many expressed at the event, Friendship Village feels more like another home than a place of employment. Happy Holidays with love and gratitude to all!

We are very excited to begin building a state-of-the-art skilled nursing center as well as a new Independent Living building (note: there will be 76 IL units, not 68 as the article states). Connecting to our current Rehabilitation Center, the new skilled building will be one cohesive skilled nursing center and will be named The Markillie Care Center in honor of our founders, John & Alene Markillie. We will also be reimagining many of our common spaces within Village Center.

Our Health Center residents traveled to Verhage Farms in Mattawan this week. They picked apples for all the residents, enjoyed a hayride, and ended the afternoon with donuts and cider - YUM! Thanks to our great staff for making this happen - what a fun and yummy adventure!

On September 30th, our residents enjoyed a delightful day trip to Frankenmuth, Michigan!

We boarded a comfortable motorcoach for a scenic ride across the state, kicking off a day full of laughter, connection, and exploration. From a delicious lunch at the iconic Bavarian Inn Restaurant, to shopping at the quaint boutiques downtown and at River Place Shops, every stop was filled with smiles and stories.

A guided city tour gave us deeper insight into Frankenmuth’s fascinating history, and we ended the day with a magical visit to Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland, where the holiday spirit shines all year long!

Trips like these are part of what makes life at Friendship Village Kalamazoo so special!
