Seniors in Florida often live on a fixed income. Therefore, free resources that are available in their community can help them maintain their budgets. The following organizations help seniors resolve legal issues, negotiate difficult health care issues and thrive in assisted living facilities.

ResourceContactService
Senior Resource Alliance Florida (SRA)407) 423-5311 or 800-963-5337The Senior Resource Alliance operates as the local Area Agency on Aging for the Central Florida region, including Winter Garden. It coordinates services for elders with other organizations in the area. The SRA offers numerous resources, such as transportation, senior centers, nutrition for needy elders and help selecting an assisted living facility. The SRA is also the starting point for seniors who want to access other services funded by the state or federal governments.
Florida Ombudsman Program(888) 831-0404Florida ombudsmen act as advocates for seniors who live in assisted living facilities. Ombudsmen investigate alleged complaints and work to resolve the issue between the senior and the facility once they complete their investigation. Ombudsmen ensure that facilities comply with regulations and treat seniors with dignity and respect. The ombudsmen also educate the larger community about the rights enjoyed by seniors in long-term care facilities.
Florida Elder Law(888) 895-7873Seniors aged 60 and older who need legal assistance on civil matters can turn to the Elder Law Project. It provides legal assistance on many issues, including probate, advance directives, living wills, family law, Medicare or Medicaid and assisted living. Eligible seniors can call the Elder Law Hotline 24/7 and make an appointment to speak with a lawyer.
Florida SHINE(800) 963-5337Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders (SHINE) offers free, unbiased and confidential counseling on health care insurance for seniors eligible for Medicare or their caregivers. Counselors can provide information on the differences between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans and which one might best suit an individual. They can also explain how to purchase long-term care insurance and determine if a senior needs Medigap coverage or a Part D prescription drug plan. No counselor works for a health care company nor will they ever advise a senior to purchase a particular commercial plan.
