If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.

Sarasota’s seniors have access to many resources that may help them continue to live in their own homes for longer, in addition to services that may make nursing home care more affordable. Some of these resources are listed here.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (888) 831-0404 | Long-term care ombudsmen are volunteers who advocate for seniors in nursing homes and assisted living facilities throughout Florida, including Sarasota. Their role involves regularly visiting senior living facilities to talk to residents, discuss their concerns and deal with their complaints. These complaints can range from dissatisfaction with the facility’s menu to serious issues, such as elder abuse. Families of seniors can also complain to the ombudsman. |
| Meals on Wheels | (941) 366-6693 | The nonprofit organization delivers freshly prepared frozen meals to homebound seniors throughout Sarasota County. Deliveries are Monday to Saturday. All meals provide the recommended daily nutrition intake for seniors and can be adapted to comply with dietary requirements such as low sodium and low fat. A $50 fee is requested on enrollment. Per meal donations are $6. However, seniors unable to pay will not be refused. |
| Safe at Home | (813) 878-9000 | This no-cost service is provided by Rebuilding Together, a nonprofit dedicated to helping seniors and the disabled struggling with mobility in their homes. The organization can help fit ramps, grab bars, elevated toilets and other features that make homes safer for seniors with restricted movement and other disabilities, such as limited vision. |
| VA Aid and Attendance Benefits and Housebound Allowance | (800) 827-1000 | The VA Aid and Attendance benefit is available to eligible U.S. military veterans and their surviving spouses who now, or soon will be, living in nursing homes. The monthly payment doesn’t need to be repaid and is in addition to the VA pension. Veterans and their spouses who are still able to live at home may be eligible for the Housebound Allowance, which is a monthly payment that can contribute to home health care costs. VeteranAid.org provides an online tool for veterans to determine their eligibility. |
| SHINE | (800) 963-5337 | Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders (SHINE) is a free program operated by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs. Trained and unbiased counselors provide information and support to Sarasota’s seniors in matters regarding Medicare and Medicaid. This may include helping them understand their policies, introducing them to other forms of health care insurance and helping them enroll. |
