Mission Our Mission: To promote health, dignity and quality of life throughout the journey of aging.
Our Vision: To lead the way in delivery of comprehensive services that enrich the lives of older adults and their families.
Description Friendship Centers is a nonprofit organization serving older adults in five counties in Southwest Florida. In 2016, we were THE safety net for close to 15,000 seniors living in our service area. We provide service to older adults in the arenas of medical and dental services, care giving, meals, exercise classes, lifelong learning, economic assistance, and socialization.
As an organization, our goals are to: Empower older adults to live active, healthy lives to improve all aspects of health.
Promote good nutrition and physical activity to maintain healthy lifestyles.
Provide crisis/supportive intervention and help promote financial stability through education and community resources.
Allow older people to maintain their independence and live in their own homes for as long as possible.
A belief in “People Helping People,” has been the foundation of the Friendship Centers for more than four decades.
