Faithful Friends, INC.

East Bradenton, closer to Interstate 75 and the University Town Center retail corridor than to the Gulf beaches on Anna Maria Island, is where Faithful Friends, INC. sits on 49th Ave E. The facility is licensed for 10 beds, a size just above the state's smallest tier, generally enough for a slightly larger caregiver presence than a five- or six-bed home while keeping residents in one shared living space. This side of Manatee County has grown quickly with new residential development pushing east from the older parts of Bradenton. Ask how the facility's location affects access to specialists, since much of Manatee County's medical infrastructure sits closer to the coast.
