Friendship Acquires Salem Terrace at Harrogate, Now Friendship Salem Terrace

ROANOKE, Va. (September 15, 2022) – Friendship, a local leader in senior living and rehabilitation, is excited to announce its acquisition of Salem Terrace at Harrogate, now Friendship Salem Terrace, a senior living community that offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care.

Friendship will celebrate the addition of the new Friendship campus with a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, October 5 at 10:00 a.m. The acquisition allows Friendship to extend its geographical reach and serve more people in the Roanoke Valley who are seeking peace of mind in their retirement.

Friendship Salem Terrace features:

• a three-story assisted living and memory care community, which offers 20 spots for memory care, 16 rooms for intensive assisted living care, and 43 rooms for independent and assisted living care (a total of 79 units with an operating license for 90 residents)
• a full-service commercial kitchen, dining room, lounge, library, Internet café, activity rooms, resident laundry areas, game room, theater room, therapy room, beauty salon, and employee lounge and locker room.

“Bringing Salem Terrace under the Friendship umbrella will not only help streamline the high-quality services at Salem Terrace that Friendship has managed since 2012, but will also enable Friendship to use our expertise in retirement living and care to serve more individuals in the greater Roanoke Valley,” said Joe Hoff, President and CEO of Friendship.

The 86,622 square-foot assisted living and memory care facility was developed in 2010 by the late L. S. (Luke) Waldrop and his son, Preston A. Waldrop, MD, who has practiced medicine in the Roanoke Valley since 1991 and founded Virginia Orthopaedic P.C. It is the hard work, dedication, and forward-thinking of these gentlemen that set the foundation for Friendship Salem Terrace.
