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 Vibrant Community Where Everyone Belongs
Westerwood is a place where people from all backgrounds and beliefs come together in a spirit of openness, respect, and shared purpose. We’re proud of the vibrant, welcoming culture that has taken root here—a culture shaped by individuals who bring warmth, creativity, and compassion to daily life. Their kindness, imagination, and true zest for living are our secret sauce. It’s what makes this community special—and what helps us make retirement fresh, fulfilling, and full of possibility every day.
