Friedman Place receives mixed reviews from its residents and visitors. Many praise it as a great living environment, especially for the visually impaired, highlighting the friendly and respectful community. The staff is often described as wonderful and caring, contributing to a positive atmosphere. The facility is noted for being clean and well-maintained, with a variety of activities offered, such as onsite weaving, outings to plays and musicals, and even sailing, which enrich the residents' experience. The new director of Food Services has reportedly improved the quality of meals, although opinions on the food remain divided. Some residents appreciate the assistance provided in job applications, but others express frustration over the lack of tangible job opportunities and support, feeling misled about employment prospects. Financial concerns are also mentioned, with some residents dissatisfied with the limited financial allowance and the handling of their benefits, such as the link card. While many residents enjoy the social aspect and have made numerous friends, there are criticisms about the facility's ability to foster independence, with some suggesting it may not be suitable for those seeking to learn self-sufficiency. Overall, Friedman Place is seen as a positive force in the community with a commendable mission, but it faces challenges in meeting all residents' expectations, particularly regarding employment support and financial independence.
