The Friends organizations listed here share important features that have become associated with Quaker senior services. All are committed to the Quaker belief that human life is sacred and that all people are to be treated with loving respect.
All of these organizations are operated under the guidance of a board of directors that is at least 50 percent Quaker in composition. They provide caring, high quality services that support the health and dignity of older adults. They seek to respond to the spiritual as well as the physical and social needs of the people they serve. All are established as not-for-profit organizations.
These Friends' services share the belief that the later years of life are full of potential for love, growth, friendship, and contributions to others. Together, they offer a unique range of services for people with diverse needs, interests, and circumstances.
While the programs included here share these values, they are not part of a chain and are not replicas of one another. Each is distinctive in its setting, its delivery of services, and its admissions procedures, contracts, and financial arrangements. The particular programs of each organization grow and change over time in response to changing needs. Each seeks to be responsive to its own residents or clients and to the needs of its surrounding community.
Please request our guide which provides on overview of services and who provides them, and it includes a thumbnail portrait of each organization. Finally, a summary of key data pertaining to each organization is included as a supplement inside the back cover of the guide. Because each organization has unique qualities, be sure to contact and visit the programs that most interest you for full details.
