Service Providers

Direct services for elders in Florida are provided by public and private local service providers such as councils on aging, social service departments, multipurpose senior centers, and advocacy groups. These highly visible local organizations translate state and federal monies into tangible community-based services for older individuals. Local service providers, in partnership with Florida's Area Agencies on Aging, provide the foundation for the development of a more comprehensive network which encompasses older persons, consumers of services, national organizations, other federal and state agencies, the private sector, and the general public.
