25 Years Later: We Remember & We Honor 🇺🇸

Today, on the 25th anniversary of September 11, the Florida Association of Aging Services Providers joins our nation in solemn remembrance.

We pause to honor the 2,977 lives lost, the extraordinary bravery of our first responders, and the enduring resilience of the generation that guided us through one of our darkest days. Many of the older adults we serve carry the direct memories of this historic moment, reminding us of the strength, unity, and compassion that define our communities.

September is National PACE Month, and the Florida Association of Aging Services Providers is proud to shine a light on the power of community-centered care!

Aging in place isn't just about staying at home—it's about having the right medical, clinical, and daily support systems in place to live safely, independently, and with dignity. Across Florida, our dedicated direct-service providers, case managers, and senior care champions work tirelessly to make this a reality every single day.

Thank you to all our members and partners strengthening Florida’s aging network and empowering older adults to thrive where they belong: right at home.

On this day in 1965, the Older Americans Act was signed into law, creating a lasting national commitment to supporting older adults.
