Welcome to the Florida Department of Elder Affairs, the primary state agency responsible for administering human services programs to benefit Florida’s large and growing elder population. Whether you are an elder or caregiver, a professional or volunteer who deals with aging issues, or just looking for information related to Florida’s older residents, we hope this website proves to be a valuable tool for you.

Seniors hold a special place in Florida, which has the nation’s largest proportion of residents age 60 and older. On this website, you may access information about health and wellness, long-term care, community-based care, and Department projects and publications.

The website itself is undergoing significant changes as we redesign and reorganize it. Look for even more changes in the coming months as we try to make it easier for you to find exactly what you’re looking for.
