The SRA is also the starting point for seniors who want to access other services funded by the state or federal governments. |
| Florida Ombudsman Program | (888) 831-0404 | Florida ombudsmen act as advocates for seniors who live in assisted living facilities. Ombudsmen investigate alleged complaints and work to resolve the issue between the senior and the facility once they complete their investigation.
