Mission

To enhance the well-being of South Florida seniors, family caregivers, the disabled, and their families by educating and advocating on their behalf and by providing health care and supportive services that meet their physical, emotional, social and psychological needs.

Guiding Principles

• Ensure that all seniors, families, and caregivers have access to a continuum of services that allows them to continue to be active participants in the community and maintain the highest quality of life possible.

• Provide our senior citizens with individual attention, care, and TIME to enable them to live each day to the fullest.

• Provide the highest quality services that support dignity and independence which are vital to the mental and spiritual health of aging persons.

• Ensure that caregivers receive the emotional, mental, and practical supports they need to maintain their own quality of life and health.

• Educate the community about senior needs and issues.

• Recognizing that most people will one day be caregivers and each of us will be a senior, engage every generation in activities that foster communication about the needs of seniors today and in the future.
