Friends House

Located on 62 gently rolling acres in Sandy Spring, Maryland, Friends House offers older adults an affordable and fulfilling retirement experience in a secure and caring setting. Just north of Silver Spring and east of Olney, the campus is close to excellent medical care, shopping, and museums. Friends House is a warm, welcoming community where senior adults are esteemed for their experience and wisdom. A nonprofit organization founded in the 1960s on the Quaker values of equality, integrity, and simplicity, Friends House is a multicultural and economically inclusive community. At every level of care — Residential Living, Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing — we provide a caring, secure environment that nurtures the autonomy, independence and personal growth of each individual. Friends House is a Type C (fee-for-service) Life Plan Community. That means our residents can enjoy a vibrant, active lifestyle in Residential (Independent) living, and pay for higher levels of care — Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing — only if and when they need such care. To better accommodate our residents, we’re expanding on our campus, and construction is already underway. We’re excited to invite you to be among the first to find and reserve a new apartment or cottage through our special, limited-time priority program.
