After more than 23 years at Carrell Corners in Central Fort Myers, Senior Friendship Centers has moved 3 miles south to the Summerlin Commons Office Complex near the intersection of Summerlin and Boy Scout Roads on March 1, 2011. Summerlin Commons is made up of 10 individual lakefront buildings; Senior Friendship Centers is located in Building 6.

The new facility accommodates the nonprofit organization's elder care services geared to help seniors stay independent in their own homes; including Case Management, Nutrition Programs, In-Home Care, the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, the Friendship At Home and RELIEF Volunteer programs and the “Living Room” Adult Day Services Center.  Program and services have doubled in size since opening in 1979. The organization was founded in 1973 in Sarasota County and has been in Lee County for 31 years.

"Although we have downsized size our square footage, the building has less wasted space in addition to being energy efficient." Executive Director Nancy Green-Irwin said. "Our clients are excited about how we will be better able to accommodate their needs and expand what we do.  Our staff is thrilled about the possibilities for the future in our new offices."

The Friendship Centers has a wish list of new furnishings for the “Living Room” Adult Day Service. Please call 275.1881 for more information.
