Give-It-a-Try Stays
30 to 90 Days Without the Commitment
These 30 to 90-day, Give-It-A-Try Stays are designed to give potential residents a peek into life at Friends Home without the commitment.
Moving from your current home is no small thing. It’s a lot of pressure to pick up the life you know and transition to a new place with new people and a new routine.
There’s zero expectation attached, just a hope that you experience the fullness of the community that you could call home.

How Give-It-a-Try Stays Work
Zero Upfront Fee
You can try living at Friends Home under a short-term 30 to 90-day contract without paying the standard admission fee.
Life as a Resident
The goal is simple—live life as a resident, join our social life, enjoy our amenities, and see if our community is the perfect fit for you.
The Decision
Most people who start the “Give It A Try” stay fall in love with the lifestyle and sense of community, and they decide to become permanent residents after their trial period.

“The staff were friendly, attentive, and very caring. My mom felt like family while staying there.”
