Elder Helpline and Critical Services Remain Available in North Central FloridaMarch 23, 2020
While our offices are closed to the public with staff working remotely, The Elder Helpline (1-800-262-2243) and all other critical services remain available to assist seniors, caregivers, and persons living with disability through this time of emergency.
Elder Options is a non-profit agency that administers funds from the Florida Department of Elder Affairs for senior services in a sixteen county area (Alachua, Bradford, Citrus, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Hernando, Lafayette, Lake, Levy, Marion, Putnam, Sumter, Suwannee and Union counties).
Elder Options, mandated by the Federal Older Americans Act, exists to promote the independence, dignity, health, and well-being of our elder citizens; to plan, fund and administer a coordinated continuum of services; and to advocate for the needs of older Americans.
Sincerely,
Kristen Griffis, Executive Director
