Lakeland’s seniors and their families can access the following resources to help cover residential care costs or make living at home possible for those not yet ready to transition to a nursing home.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Medicaid – Long Term Care (LTC) | (877) 711-3662 | The LTC program can help eligible seniors in need of nursing home care, including additional treatments provided within the facilities, such as speech and physical therapies. To access the benefits, most seniors will need to be enrolled in the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care program and meet several other requirements. These include being a U.S. citizen (or permanent resident) and having assets and income on or below the thresholds. |
| SHINE (State Health Insurance Assistance Program) | (800) 336-2226 | SHINE is a program for Medicare beneficiaries and seniors not yet enrolled who want unbiased information and advice on the best plans for their needs. The program’s counselors provide confidential one-on-one support to seniors, helping them understand their current levels of coverage and how to address any shortfalls. Although this may involve discussions about private health care plans, the counselors won’t try to sell insurance. |
| Citrus Connection Paratransit Service | (855) 765-5287 | Citrus Connection is a service for seniors and the disabled that operates all public transport systems throughout Polk County. It can help passengers access free or subsidized transport services, such as passes for fixed-route buses and door-to-door rides using wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Door-to-door is a shared ride service costing $2 per one-way journey and can be used by seniors for any purpose. |
| Florida Long Term Care Ombudsman Program | (888) 831-0404 | The Long Term Care Ombudsman Program helps seniors in residential care communities understand their rights while also acting as their voice in disputes with their care providers. The ombudsman investigates complaints made by seniors, their families and third parties. If a complaint involves allegations of criminality, such as elder abuse, the ombudsman will refer it to the proper authorities. Families can also get free access to information about nursing homes to help them make more informed decisions. |
| Meals on Wheels of Polk County | (863) 299-1616 | Meal on Wheels is a nonprofit organization that delivers freshly prepared nutritious meals to homebound seniors in Polk County. Meals are delivered around noon on weekdays and typically include a main course, dessert and drink. Depending on donations, seniors also receive a loaf of sliced bread and boxed pastry once a week. |
