Life in a welcoming, supportive environment brings meaningful benefits for well-being and daily fulfillment. At Friends House, our senior living campus offers friendships and activities that make every day more engaging. With nearby destinations in the Sandy Spring/Olney/Washington DC area adding to the experience, residents enjoy a lifestyle that’s rich in both social connection and opportunity.
Social and Emotional Wellness
Community living fosters emotional and social well-being in ways that can be transformative. Research from the National Institute on Aging shows that having regular social interactions reduces isolation and contributes to a longer, healthier life. For our residents, friendships and social activities provide a renewed sense of belonging. A supportive atmosphere like this can enrich life at every level, enhancing each day with a sense of comfort and connection.
Staying Active and Engaged
Living with others who share similar values and interests also makes it easier to stay active and physically engaged. Whether residents gather for Qi Gong, enjoy walks on the grounds, or participate in outings to local attractions, they support one another in their goals. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlights the physical and cognitive benefits of staying active, especially through group-based activities that keep both body and mind sharp.

Residents at Friends House find comfort in knowing they have both independence and a trusted support system close at hand. Having friends and team members nearby provides valuable reassurance to residents and their families, allowing everyone to feel confident that any need will be met.

With activities ranging from creative workshops to trips to nearby venues like the Olney Theatre, residents can enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle that keeps each day dynamic.
