Florida Area Agencies on Aging and Aging and Disability Resource Centers

Florida administers elder services through 11 nonprofit Area Agencies on Aging. Each AAA is designated as an Aging and Disability Resource Center and helps people find long-term services and supports.

The local ADRC is an entry point for information and access to publicly administered long-term supports, including Medicaid, Older Americans Act, and state-funded programs. The local office must confirm the requirements and availability of each service.

Some details for this program are still being verified. Check the official source for the most current information.

Questions to ask the program

These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.

  • Does the person receiving care live in Florida? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
  • Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. — Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
  • What documents do you need from us to start an application?
  • Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
