The nonprofit organizations included in this list can assist seniors with complaints about their assisted living facilities, loan various types of medical equipment and provide opportunities for volunteers to support their communities.

ResourceContactService
Florida Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program(888) 831-0404Some seniors may not understand their rights within residential care and feel unable to challenge underperforming facilities. The purpose of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman program is to educate seniors so they know when their rights are being infringed on and to advocate for them if they complain about the quality of their care. The department can also investigate complaints made by third parties and the families of residents.
Florida Department of Veterans Affairs(727) 319-7440The Florida Department of Veterans Affairs supports the needs of U.S. military vets and their dependents across the state. In Vero Beach, it operates a VA clinic that provides primary care and behavioral health services, in addition to nutritional advice and rehabilitation. The clinic is also home to a claims specialist who can help vets and their families identify and apply for local, state and federal benefits.
Resource Center for Disability Solutions(772) 774-3060The Resource Center for Disability Solutions provides free short- and long-term loans of durable medical equipment for seniors whose insurance doesn't cover their costs. As the devices are donated, availability isn't consistent, but the organization will attempt to source the required equipment as quickly as possible. Typical loans include wheelchairs, canes, walkers and electric scooters.
Palm Beach County Community Services(561) 355-4746Palm Beach County's Community Services program is one of several resources for seniors. It can provide training for those who want to give back to their communities and connect them with the departments most in need of their support. Volunteers can take on multiple roles, such as providing telephone reassurance to people suffering mental health crises, being a companion to homebound seniors, giving clerical support to various county departments and passing on their life skills and experience to younger members of the community.
