Thank you to the Olney Chamber of Commerce for hosting such a great National Night Out! Our Friends House team had a wonderful time connecting with neighbors and joining in the fun.

CEO Philip Burkholder (with his pup!) and COO Kadine Mitchell (along with her son) were joined by Marketing & Sales Director Marie Kiser, Community Life Coordinator Catia Holmes, and other members of the Friends House team. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table and helped make the night so memorable.

“This is our new family.”
From strangers to something so much more!

Harriett moved into her Lodge not knowing a single neighbor, but what she found was connection, community, and meaningful relationships.

It’s not just a neighborhood, it’s more than a community. It’s family.

Your eyes tell your story – every smile, every moment you’ve witnessed.

Protecting that vision means protecting the life you love.

August is National Eye Exam Month, a good reminder that regular checkups keep your world clear and your independence strong.

When was your last eye exam?

Secure Your Legacy This August

August is Make a Will Month, a perfect time to ensure your wishes are clear and your loved ones are protected.

Creating or updating your will brings peace of mind and empowers you to make thoughtful decisions for the future.

💡 Tip: A well-prepared will isn’t just about finances, it can also reflect your values and the impact you want to leave behind.

A recipe that brings people together!

Shared by our residents, this Curried Chicken Salad has become a favorite at Friends House. With a mix of grapes, almonds, oranges, and a hint of curry, it’s the kind of dish that sparks conversation – and seconds.

Life at Friends House is full of thoughtful touches like this, where neighbors swap more than stories, they share traditions.

Today, we honor the generations who’ve shaped communities, families, and futures.

World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly is a reminder that age brings more than years –it brings perspective, humor, resilience, and insight that can’t be taught.

We’re grateful for the neighbors, mentors, and role models who make Friends House the thoughtful, outspoken, and grounded place it is.
