As we age, staying connected to the right services and supports becomes vital for maintaining independence, mental health, and overall well-being.

This guide brings together ten of the most valuable resources available to seniors and caregivers in Central Florida. These organizations make a difference every day through education, compassionate care, and community connection. Each offers services designed to support emotional, physical, and social well-being, helping older adults live independently and with dignity.
