Friendship Assisted Living, Inc. is a senior living community in Roanoke, Virginia, that provides independent living, assisted living, memory care, and rehabilitation services. As one of the more expansive options in the Roanoke Valley, the community offers a broad range of services that allow families to secure a long-term care solution under one roof, with its 120 licensed beds.
With 84 of the 120 beds currently occupied, the community is operating at 70% occupancy, which is below the Virginia state average of 85.7%. This indicates open availability for those seeking immediate placement.
The community has completed five inspections, with 80% resulting in a cumulative total of 16 deficiencies. The most recent inspection in March 2025 identified a violation related to medication management. The primary findings include medication management, specifically the dating of opened items like insulin pens. While earlier records cited themes around staff training, service plans, and building maintenance, the community has no history of fines, license enforcement actions, or findings of immediate jeopardy. The decreasing number of deficiencies in the latest cycle also suggests a stabilizing operational trend.
Comprehensive clinical support, including nursing services, licensed nurses and CNAs, and a full rehabilitation program featuring short-term and respite care, is provided. The lifestyle experience includes chef-prepared seasonal meals, fitness programs, and a wide array of social engagement opportunities. The community also offers a particularly diverse activities calendar that includes various clubs, cultural events, games, educational classes, and volunteer programs.
Friendship Assisted Living, Inc. is a strong fit for older adults in the Roanoke area seeking a full spectrum of care and active social opportunities in one place. The community’s large scale allows for varied programming and peer engagement, while the current availability offers flexibility for interested families.
