Faith Based Partners

The Foundation for Senior Living is a member of Catholic Charities USA and counts as its family of partners over 1,600 local Catholic Charities organizations across the United States, including Catholic Charities Community Services in Phoenix and Catholic Community Services in Tucson.

In Phoenix and throughout Arizona, the Foundation for Senior Living embraces its special mission to improve the quality of life for seniors, adults with disability and their caregivers. We continuously reach out to public and private groups that allow us to better serve all our clients, regardless of race, religion or economic status and to extend our services, especially to the most vulnerable. We are active members of the Arizona Ecumenical Council and the Arizona Interfaith Movement.

Federal and State Partners

The Foundation for Senior Living has worked with Federal and State governments to help develop standards of quality and deliver in-home funded services through the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) and Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS) as well as the Regional Area Agency on Aging.

Building pilot projects into successful new programs has been a tradition at the Foundation for Senior Living.  In 1988, for instance, we developed an Adult Foster Care program to help seniors live in community, and in 1992, we responded to a State request and began our Assisted Group Living program to care for previously institutionalized adults with severe behavioral health conditions.

Local Government Partners

The Foundation for Senior Living has also developed partnerships with local governments to serve seniors and disabled adults.  Based on the success of our South Mountain Adult Day Health Services center, the first in the State of Arizona, and other nationally certified centers, we have developed facilities in Tempe and Tolleson in direct partnership with those cities.

Similarly the Foundation for Senior Living manages Senior Centers and local Community Action Programs in the cities of Peoria and Wickenburg.

Community Partners

The Foundation for Senior Living has actively participated in community groups such as Protecting Arizona Families Coalition (PAFCO), the Arizona Community Action Association and the Arizona Food Bank Association. Our staff has been privileged to serve in advisory roles with the Governor’s Council on Aging and Arizona State departments of Economic Security, Health Services and AHCCCS.

Weatherization and Home Safety Partners

Our commitment to maintaining safe and comfortable living arrangements for seniors and families has been pursued through extensive government and public partnerships, including APS, the Arizona State Energy Office, Maricopa County Services Department, SRP, South West Gas and ten cities within Maricopa County. In concert with the U.S. Department of Energy, the Energy Outwest Leadership Association and the above local entities, the Foundation provides cooling and energy efficiency services and professionally trains weatherization vendors throughout the Southwest region.
