Resources

We offer a variety of resources based on our connections made in our community. All resources are recommended to assist the aging community in Broward, Miami and Palm Beach Counties.

Florida is home to nearly 5.5 million residents age 60 and older and currently ranks first in the nation for the 65+ population. As our senior population continues to increase, Florida’s future is linked to our elder population’s financial, health, and physical security. 

The Florida Department of Elder Affairs

The Florida Department of Elder Affairs provides most direct services through its Division of Statewide Community-Based Services, which works through the state’s 11 Area Agencies on Aging and local service providers to deliver essential services to a vital segment of the population.
