DEPARTMENT OF ELDER AFFAIRS FLORIDA

The Department of Elder Affairs Florida is a state government entity focused on administering programs and services designed to support the well-being of older adults across Florida. Its core capabilities center on policy implementation, elder services coordination, and the delivery of long-term care support systems, including home and community-based services, protective services, and senior transportation initiatives. The organization operates within a regulatory framework governed by state statutes and federal mandates, ensuring compliance with aging services standards and beneficiary protections. Its technical expertise lies in case management systems, interagency data sharing for social services, and the operational oversight of contracted providers delivering in-home care, meal programs, and caregiver support. Key differentiators include deep familiarity with Florida’s aging population demographics and a systems-level approach to integrating health, housing, and social services for vulnerable seniors. Award history is not available to inform specific agency partnerships or recent contract performance. As a state agency, it does not compete for federal contracts in the traditional contractor sense but fulfills its mission through state appropriations and federal grant administration, primarily under Title XX and the Older Americans Act. Its primary operational focus aligns with NAICS 923130—Social Assistance Activities, which in practice means delivering publicly funded elder support services through direct provision and vendor oversight. The organization is positioned as a critical node in Florida’s public health and social safety net for aging populations. Structurally, it is a 2A entity—a state government agency—based in Tallahassee, with jurisdiction statewide. It holds no federal certifications, as it is not a private contractor, and operates under the authority of Florida state law. Its geographic presence is anchored in state government infrastructure, with regional offices supporting local service delivery across all 67 counties.
