House Plant Sanctuary

I’d like to know if there is a place where you can bring house plants when they are too big for your place or you can not take a good care of them any more. I’ve had plants which were 12-15 years old grown too big for my house that I gave to some friends and the plants died within few months because they have forgotten to water them. I have a few plants now which may need a better place for this winter (they are outside now), is there any place or person who would “adopt” them but I would also know that they will be treated well and with the respect (plants are not much different from animals, why do we treat them as decorative objects, they are alive too).
Thank you very much.
