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. |
