History

In keeping with a pledge made to the Stony Run Meeting of the Society of Friends in Baltimore by Broadmead in 1976, Friends Care, Inc. was created in 1997 to support Broadmead and all other entities that would later be developed to serve a diverse senior population. In its early years, Friends Care researched a variety of opportunities through which it could fulfill its mission. In 2003, it created a subsidiary corporation named Friends Care Community Services whose primary purpose is to serve as Lead Provider of the LifeStyle Solutions Plan.  In 2004, The Community Services Corp. of New Jersey (CSCNJ) was formed to provide parallel services in the state of New Jersey.

Friends Care is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. A simple majority of the Directors are appointed by the Baltimore Monthly Meeting of Friends Stony Run, and Directors so appointed are members of the Religious Society of Friends. At least two Directors also serve on the Board of Trustees for Broadmead, Inc.
