Elder Helpline of Florida

Dial 1-800-96-ELDER (or 1-800-963-5337)

This 800 number automatically connects person calling in Florida with the Helpline that serves the geographical area from which they are calling. The goal is to increase access to services and to serve as a starting point for those who do not know how to find services or whom to ask for help in the State of Florida.

The State of Florida Department of Elder Affairs has web site access to a state-wide resource database of service providers. Users select a county and a keyword and the search will list the name, address and type of service provided in that area.
