Eligibility – Developmental Disability Services

Our developmental disability services are designed for individuals who meet the following criteria:

  • Must be a resident of Florida
  • Have a documented developmental disability (as defined by Florida Medicaid/Waiver guidelines)
  • Be enrolled with or eligible for the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD)
  • Require assistance with daily living or support for independent living goals.

Eligibility – Homemaker & Companion Services

Our non-medical in-home support is available to:

  • Seniors or adults aged 18+ who require assistance with daily tasks
  • Individuals recently discharged from the hospital or undergoing recovery
  • Families seeking companionship services for a loved one living alone
  • Clients who need help with light housekeeping, errands, or personal support

We currently accept private pay for all homemaker and companion services. Some long-term care insurance policies may reimburse for these services—coverage varies by plan, so we recommend checking with your provider.
