The Family of Friends, Inc

The Family of Friends, Inc. operated as a licensed assisted living facility and was known for giving care to adult males with mental illness, and you'd find it was set in a family home environment over at 2340 Celery Avenue, Sanford, FL, and folks there would get 24/7 supervision, regular meals, help with bathing, dressing, and walking, and they'd get medication given to them by staff, so nobody had to try and remember pills on their own, and there was help with things like bed transfer and toileting too, and even though you'd see residents with their own private apartments, meals were shared in dining rooms, and there were group activities and a chapel up on the 18th floor for anyone who wanted some quiet or prayer, and the staff made sure transportation worked out when someone needed it, with memory care and dementia care on offer, and the place kept a steady focus on folks keeping independence, but stepping in with help as needed, plus there were services like laundry, housekeeping, skilled nursing, and even short-term rehab, and different levels of personal care, all with a focus on quality of life and keeping costs lower for families. Residents usually shared in recreation, social, and religious offerings, and might even get services covered by long-term care insurance or Veterans Aid & Attendance Benefit, which meant you could find some financial relief, and the staff present all day and night included Jeannette Simmons, Tammy Agnini, William Sefton, Nata Treise, W. Brady Phillips as President, Christopher W. Hayes as Vice President, Molly Phillips as Treasurer, and Shawn Garland as authorized representative and registered agent. The place started its life as a Florida not for profit in 2003, but it did have a voluntary dissolution filed as of December 26, 2024, with a history of annual reports, amendments, and a merger filed back in 2003. You'd see the principle and mailing addresses always stayed the same, and anything official went by document number N03000004044 with an FEI/EIN of 58-2670012, and while there's info about its operations and services, there aren't too many details about specific amenities or programs, but it did carry a good variety of services meant for community support.
