Mission

Elder Options’ mission is to ensure that communities have a trusted and unbiased place to turn for information, resources, and assistance. We advocate for and cooperatively work with communities to strengthen support systems and create new and innovative service options that focus on personal choice and independence.

Elder Options works to identify the needs of older adults, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers, as well as develop plans to meet the growing needs of our community. We do this by providing some direct services, but we also contract with local agencies to deliver services. The

services we contract out to local agencies are monitored regularly, ensuring good administration of funds.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors provides governance, guidance, and strategy to lead Elder Options in serving seniors, caregivers, and persons living with disabilities. One of our goals includes increasing community partnerships so we may serve more seniors, informal caregivers, and adults with

disabilities. The Board meets quarterly at Elder Options headquarters in Gainesville, Fl, and also online via Zoom.
