Resources for Seniors and Family Caregivers in Orlando

by Michele Moon
The Estate Conversions Team

Family caregivers in Orlando - those who take care of an older adult - do exceptional work! As Certified Senior Housing Professionals - Realtors who help family caregivers and seniors in the sale of a family home and move to a new phase of life - we at Estate Conversions regularly come across people who are at the forefront of this demanding time in life.


It's part of our job to know as much as possible about opportunities that can make life a bit better and easier for both those caregivers and their loved ones. I wanted to use this blog post to provide information on some of the community resources available to family caregivers across central Florida.



If you're the family caregiver of a veteran in Orlando, from Oviedo to Lake Mary to Live Oak to Winter Springs to Altamonte, the Veterans Administration provides a wide variety of resources to help not only the veteran, but also YOU - the family caregiver of a veteran. These include respite programs, the free, online workshop "Building Better Caregivers," and plenty of other assistance.


The Orlando VA Family Caregiver Support Coordinators are:

Elinor Splitter, MA, MSW, LCSW: 321-397-6465
James Conte, MSW : 407-646-4055
Jane Hoke Otto, RN: 407-271-2311
Richard Kennedy, RN: 407-646-4100



A fantastic local resource for Orlando family caregivers of those with these illnesses.
