Back in the 1970s Arizona was — we’re winking at you — a desert. Not much here but sun, sand and sky. Then a few residents had a hot idea: a community in the Phoenix area where older adults could secure their future needs while keeping their sense of adventure. Enter Life Care Services, a leader in senior living, to help us realize the dream.

By 1980, Friendship Village Tempe was one of the first continuing care retirement communities in the region. To this day, our community is managed by Life Care Services and a not-for-profit board of directors.
