The Foundation for Independent Living is a private, not-for-profit, community-based program for adults with varying cognitive disabilities and developmental delays. Located in beautiful South Florida, this long-term residential living program is the ideal destination for young adults who are ready to navigate the world with their differences. Offering a unique and rewarding opportunity for adults to achieve their highest level of independence, FIL is truly the perfect transition for those seeking to thrive independently. Founded in 1985, FIL became a program which could enhance individual’s journey into the adult world; a place they could proudly call home.

Our Special Olympics team is one of the best in the state of Florida, and that is due in part to our in-house coach and fitness manager, Jack, who makes sure that our team is ready and primed to bring back the gold, but what really matters is that everyone gives it their best.

Last Wednesday, FIL had the pleasure of welcoming the Kineret and Amit Clubhouse study tour group, a visiting delegation from Israel that traveled to the U.S. to learn more about our community and how we support our residents. It was an incredible exchange of ideas, but the true highlight came when we walked into the clubhouse: a group of our residents began singing the Israeli national anthem, Hatikvah. It brought tears to everyone's eyes and created a powerful connection across cultures.

A sincere thank you to Yuval and the entire Kineret team for visiting and spending time with the FIL family.

From our chorus group, where we gather to sing with Harold, to travelling around the world for Japanese fan dancing, our day today was pretty amazing!

Happy National Apple Betty Day! 🍎 If you don’t know, an Apple Betty is the ultimate cozy dessert: spiced, tender baked apples bubbling in cinnamon and brown sugar, traditionally topped with buttery, toasted crumbs. We gave ours an upgrade with crunchy, golden granola and a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream melting right over the top! 🥣🍏🍨

Best part of the day? Our Executive Director, Betty, arrived fully committed to being Apple Betty herself in an apple-print shirt. We’re still deciding which Betty is sweeter. 😉

Drop an 🍎 below if you need a bowl of this right now! 👇
