Friendship Village was the first retirement community in the state of Illinois to earn accreditation from the Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (CCAC) and the only one to be reaccredited three times. Accreditation means that our community has met a rigorous set of Standards of Excellence developed by the CCAC, based on principles widely accepted and applied in our industry. CCAC accreditation provides consumers, regulators, bankers, insurers and the general public a way to identify organizations that meet strict criteria for good business practices and the delivery of high-quality services.
