Frequently Asked Questions About Senior Resources in Orange County

Orange County offers a variety of resources for older adults, including caregiver support, Meals on Wheels, transportation services, senior centers, veterans benefits, Alzheimer’s and dementia resources, financial assistance, and home care programs. This guide brings together trusted organizations serving seniors throughout Orange County. 

Seniors in Orange County have access to transportation programs, nutrition services, caregiver support, adult day care, home care, senior centers, legal assistance, veterans services, and memory care resources. Many of these organizations serve residents across all of Orange County, not just the City of Orlando.

The Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) serves as a central source of information for seniors, caregivers, and individuals with disabilities. The ADRC can help connect you with long-term care resources, benefits counseling, caregiver support, transportation, and other local services. You’ll find contact information for the Orange County ADRC in this guide.

Several organizations throughout Orange County offer transportation assistance for older adults, including rides to medical appointments, grocery stores, senior centers, and other essential destinations. Eligibility and service areas vary by program, so it’s best to contact the transportation provider directly for details.

Eligible older adults may qualify for home-delivered meals through Meals on Wheels or other nutrition programs operating throughout Orange County. Congregate dining sites and community meal programs are also available in many areas for seniors who are able to travel.

Depending on eligibility, seniors may qualify for Medicare Savings Programs, Medicaid, SNAP benefits, utility assistance, prescription assistance, veterans benefits, property tax exemptions, and other local or state programs. Organizations listed on this page can help determine which benefits may be available.

Many older adults successfully remain at home with support from home care, transportation, meal delivery, and caregiver assistance. However, if daily activities become difficult, falls become more frequent, memory loss progresses, or safety becomes a concern, assisted living or memory care may provide the additional support needed. Senior Consulting Advisors can help families evaluate their options at no cost.

Families can start by contacting the Orange County Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) or exploring the local organizations listed on this page. If you’re also considering assisted living, memory care, or independent living, Senior Consulting Advisors provides free guidance to help families understand their options and connect with appropriate senior care resources.
