Elder Options' mission is to empower elders, their families, and caregivers to make informed choices about aging in place with dignity, purpose, and security.
Elder Options is a non-profit private organization serving as the Aging Resource Center for Mid-Florida. The Resource Center provides information on programs that can help older people remain active and independent.
The Center also serves as a clearinghouse of information to people of
all ages connecting them with information and resources for a variety
of long term care needs and aging issues. When you call the Resource
Center your questions and concerns will be addressed by knowledgable
and caring staff members who will link you with up-to-date information
about the wide array of resources available to meet your needs.
Elder
Options staff can also make referrals for services such as options
counseling for long term support, caregiver respite, transportation,
home delivered meals and other community based services. Read below to
