Friends For Life

Friends for Life was founded in 1989 when the Founder, Inez Russell, could not find any programs that helped remember the elderly. She started with Quality of Life programs visiting clients in the hospital and nursing homes, and as a new need arose, if she could not find another organization to help, she started a program. Almost 35 years later, we have six programs serving clients in over 80 Texas counties.
