ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS (August 21, 2025) — Friendship Manor will hold a ribbon-cutting and open house on Thursday, October 16, 2PM. The facility is located at 1209 21st Avenue in Rock Island, Illinois.

The open house and ribbon-cutting will showcase the unveiling of a $12.5 million dollar renovation — new Wellness and Therapy Center, remodeled independent living apartments, new amenities including new dining room and lounge, and refreshed common areas.

Strong reputation and longevity of service in the Quad Cities Area. Friendship Manor was established in 1941; and the current campus has been operating since 1979 — serving seniors in the area for over eighty years and in the current location for 45 years.

• Longevity of staff with long-tenured leadership and staff in which many team members have fifteen-to-forty-plus years of service.

• “Friendship Manor is the only faith-based, charitable, not-for-profit Continuing Care Retirement Community (Life Plan Community) in the Illinois Quad Cities.”

• Friendship Manor’s Life Care Guarantee (Life Plan Guarantee) ensures that residents will not be asked to leave if their funds are depleted.

• Friendship Manor’s state-of-the art Wellness Center with specialty Physical Therapy gait-training assistance track and comprehensive Wellness Program as well as collaborative programs and educational series is superior to competitor fitness centers or wellness centers.

• Friendship Manor has served the Rock Island Community for over forty years. The $12.5 Renovation Project and rebranding of The Terraces builds on this strong legacy.

• This transformation brings modern amenities to a trusted provider of senior services where residents continue to thrive.
