Faith Friendship Villa of Mountville is a caring and supportive living arrangement for those with mental illness and other disabilities. Their goal is to help residents be successful and feel fulfilled by providing housing, meals, laundry, housekeeping, and a variety of services. These services include assistance with hygiene, medication, financial management, medical appointments arrangement, transportation, medical insurance, Social Security issues, shopping, and problem-solving.
As a 74-bed, State-licensed personal care home, Faith Friendship Villa operates under regulations for resident rights and government policies. However, as a Christian ministry, they strive to uphold an even higher standard of professional, relational, and financial integrity. The team at Faith Friendship Villa considers everyone who lives with them to be a member of their family, offering love, compassion, and daily prayers to support the residents.
Around 75% of the residents at Faith Friendship Villa have a primary mental health diagnosis, with nearly 90% considered low income. The care home has the most low-income beds in Lancaster County, with all beds available for low-income residents. While residents may contribute towards the services they receive, the amount they are able to pay is often below what is needed to maintain the level of quality and care that Faith Friendship Villa aims to provide.
Faith Friendship Ministries does not receive federal subsidies and has no contracts with state or local agencies. As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, they rely on support from the community, businesses, foundations, and the body of Christ to meet the needs of their residents. Despite operating for over 20 years, Faith Friendship Villa has recently transitioned to connecting with their community through email newsletters, seeking to expand their outreach and engagement with supporters.
