Additionally, Additionally, about about 1 in 5 people in the United States have a disability. At FSL, we ask: How can we promote helping people age in place and live independently?
FSL, also known as Foundation for Senior Living, has been caring for Arizonans of all ages since 1974. Our mission is to provide home and community-based services and develop energy-efficient, affordable housing to promote health, independence and dignity for all.
It begins with a compassionate heart. Factors that enhance successful aging include physical wellness, financial security, interactions with family and friends, and a sense of purpose. Successful aging begins with successful service. We believe quality care can be coordinated in one place to offer a safe home for over 1,000 Arizonans each night, nutritious meals for over 1,000 Arizonans each day, nearly 350,000 hours of respite or a break for caregivers each year, and over 28,000 hours of education for our clients, patients and caregivers. I joined the FSL team in January of 2015 as the new President and CEO, and I feel incredibly blessed to have been chosen to lead this wonderful organization. However, we also lost over 60 years of leadership and knowledge with the retirements of longtime President and CEO, Guy Mikkelsen, and Vice President, Linda Martin. The Board of Directors and I cannot thank them enough for their lifetime of service to this organization. We hope we have made them proud as we carry on their legacy.
Because of you, we achieved some exciting milestones in 2015.

Nutritious Meals: We provide 375,000 pounds of food to families in need from our two food pantries in the rural towns of Wickenburg and Williams. Additionally, we serve nearly 800 congregate and home-delivered meals each day. Health & Wellness: We offer services to empower community-based living, increase independence and enhance and maintain the highest functional quality of life possible for our clients. Some of these programs include: Medicare-certified, state-licensed skilled Home Health services, including support for ventilator- and trach-dependent patients; and non-medical Home Care to assist with personal care, housekeeping, meal preparation and respite for family caregivers. Education: Throughout all of our programs, we educate FSL patients and clients, family and professional caregivers, as well as members of the community, to enable them to maintain independence for themselves, their loved ones and their clients. We have adopted a new tagline: FAITH, SERVICE, LIFE. We are a FAITH-based charity that provides a wide range of SERVICEs to help people age in place throughout their LIFE.
