About Friends Services for the Aging
Friends Services for the Aging (FSA) is a tax-exempt nonprofit (501(c)(3)) organization based in Blue Bell, PA, operating under NTEE category “Senior Centers, Services.” It appears to serve as a parent agency coordinating compliant services to senior living providers, including compliance programs and training.
FSA is part of a chain of skilled nursing facilities organized as continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) in Pennsylvania. As of May 1, 2026, the chain comprises six facilities, all located in Pennsylvania, with strong CMS ratings.
The chain’s ownership structure is nonprofit-based, diversified across corporate, church-related, and other nonprofit forms; all six facilities are nonprofit-affiliated.
FSA is sometimes associated with Friends Life Care and related Quaker-based services in the same region, reflecting Quaker values and compliance structures.
However, there is no publicly identifiable official homepage for FSA itself; rather, nonprofit data sources list it and its Blue Bell address (670 Sentry Parkway, Suite 120).
