About FAHSA

Who We Are
	The Florida Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (FAHSA) was established in 1963 as a Florida not-for-profit corporation.  Its purpose is to provide leadership, advocacy, and education for retirement housing and nursing home communities that serve the needs of Florida's retirees. FAHSA is committed to assisting its members in providing the highest quality of services possible to the residents they serve.  To accomplish its purpose, the association provides up-to-date information, education, representation, group services, and networking as well as prompt, efficient service to the professional staff of its member communities.
	The association is comprised of more than 500 members, including approximately 370 of Florida's finest retirement housing communities, assisted living facilities, continuing care retirement communities, and nursing homes.  Over 85,000 older persons reside in FAHSA-member communities.  Thousands more are served through home health services, adult day care centers, and other community out-reach services.  FAHSA member homes are sponsored primarily by community-based non-profit civic, religious, fraternal, and other quality groups and are mission-driven organizations.
