Senior In-Home Services

We provide services in the home for adults over 60 who are functionally impaired and need assistance with everyday activities. These services are provided on a long term basis.

About senior in-home services

Service needs are evaluated by a case manager and may include some or all of the services listed:

  • Respite for the caregiver (allowing relief from caregiving duties)
  • Companionship
  • Consumable medical supplies
  • Emergency alert response (call button worn around the neck or wrist)
  • Home delivered meals
  • Homemaking
  • Personal care
  • Lock boxes for bedbound seniors whom live alone or are left alone during the day in the event they have an emergency and need to let EMS/police into their home but are unable to physically do it themselves

Applying for and receiving services

Call the Elder Helpline at 1-800-963-5337, or Aging Services at (813) 272-5250 to complete an application by phone. Seniors are selected for services based on eligibility criteria with applicants most in need approved first.

The level of service is determined by a thorough application process. Once approved for service, a case manager visits the home and identifies needs, develops a plan for services, monitors progress, and provides ongoing support when changes occur. Please note that Aging Services does not provide medical care.

Fees for the In-home service program are charged on a sliding scale based on income.
