Florida Community Care for the Elderly (CCE)¶
The Florida Community Care for the Elderly (CCE) program, administered by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) through Area Agencies on Aging and Lead Agencies, provides community-based services to help functionally impaired older adults (60+) remain in their own homes and avoid institutionalization. Services directly support family caregivers by providing in-home assistance including homemaker services, personal care, home-delivered meals, transportation, adult day care, and case management. Funded through state appropriations and OAA.
CCE delivers in-home and community services that keep older adults at home and relieve caregiver burden. Services include homemaker assistance (cleaning, laundry, meal preparation), personal care (bathing, grooming), home-delivered meals, transportation, adult day care, case management, and emergency alert systems. Eligibility requires care recipient to be 60+ with a functional impairment that places them at risk of nursing home placement. Sliding scale cost-sharing; lowest-income clients pay nothing. Services are accessed through local Area Agencies on Aging by calling Elder Helpline: 1-800-963-5337.
