About Us
A culture of purpose, a legacy of excellence.
Westerwood, formerly known as Friendship Village, is a nonprofit Life Plan Community located on a beautiful wooded campus just northeast of Columbus, Ohio. We were founded in 1978 and quickly began to build a reputation for our full continuum of outstanding care and our inclusive, mission-driven culture. We’re honored and proud to have earned the trust (and referrals) of generations of area families and medical professionals, and equally proud to have stayed true to that mission since day one.
Our mission.
To promote a lifelong journey of personal purpose, for those we serve, by creating a culture of independence, wellness and community.
A community of inclusiveness and equality.
Our dedication to inclusiveness and equality has been in place since we started, and attracted open-minded, smart and caring people in and out of the LGBTQ+ community that have become our “secret sauce.” Their creativity, kindness and true zest for living are what really help us make retirement fresh daily.
