FV Services, Inc. is a faith-based, not-for-profit organization devoted to carefree senior living and excellent senior services.

More than 40 years in the making, FV Services, Inc. was born out of a commitment to seniors that began in 1975 with our first retirement community. Incorporated in July 2017, FV Services, Inc. is now the parent organization for a variety of senior services that support body, mind and spirit.

I think they're very wrong about turning away this couple and I think they're very wrong about what the bible taught about same sex marriage. It's certainly not somewhere I'd chose to live out the rest of my life and if I lived there and these women were turned away, especially if they were my friends, I'd find somewhere more accepting to live.
