Free Air Life — Our Story
Our name comes from a Norwegian word: friluftsliv (free-loofts-leev) — literally, "free air life."
In Norway, friluftsliv is the value of spending time outdoors, embracing nature, restoring balance, and improving the quality of life. It's the belief that fresh air and open spaces aren't a luxury. They're part of what makes a life whole.
That belief is what our company is built on — and it's what each word of our name means in the work we do.
Free — because care should never take a person's choices away. The people we serve decide how their days look, what support they want, and who walks alongside them. We fit the care to the person, not the person to a schedule.
Air — because life doesn't happen only indoors. A veteran in his own home, an adult with a disability out in his neighborhood — the fresh air, the outdoors, the community beyond the front door are part of healing and part of living. In North Idaho, with its lakes, trails, and open spaces, that idea has a natural home.
Life — because our work isn't about services delivered. It's about a life lived fully: getting out into the community, learning new skills, keeping routines that matter, and holding onto independence for as long as possible.
Free Air Life serves clients in California and North Idaho from Coeur d'Alene. We care for disabled veterans at home, and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through Residential Habilitation as an enrolled Idaho Medicaid provider.
Everything we do rests on four principles: personal choice, community involvement, and dignity — while thriving in a caring and respectful atmosphere. They are the hallmark of our philosophy, and they shape every visit, every plan, and every relationship we build.
That's what Free Air Life means: the freedom to live your life — in the fresh air, in your home, in your community — with the support you need and the dignity you deserve.
