Research services for seniors in Orlando, FL

In Orlando, FL, seniors have access to local offices and organizations that may help them obtain financial assistance for senior care, including:

Orlando is a fairly car-dependent city, and seniors can expect to drive for most errands. Walking and bicycling is easier in neighborhoods closer to downtown, and the frequently pleasant weather makes these attractive alternatives. Bus service in Orlando is provided by the Lynx and the Lymmo, which primarily service the downtown area. There are three airports in the city, including the Orlando International Airport, the Orlando Sanford International Airport, the Orlando Executive Airport.

Orlando offers several health care providers for seniors wanting to be proactive about their health or for those seeking treatment for chronic conditions. The city has a number of hospitals, including AdventHealth Orlando, Central Florida Behavioral Hospital, and the Orlando VA Medical Center.

Despite its reputation as a tourist trap, the city of Orlando is really an all-inclusive playground for those interested in leisure and fun. Both Disneyworld and Universal Studios are located nearby and provide countless dining and entertainment options outside of the parks themselves. You can also enjoy a nice stroll down the Boardwalk or Citywalk or get some shopping done at one of the many discount outlet malls. The state convention center is conveniently located near downtown, ensuring a steady stream of live entertainment and events, and the world-famous Cirque Du Soleil has a permanent location in the city. For the active senior, Orlando has a variety of public and members-only golf clubs, including the famous Bay Hill, which is home to the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

What is independent living?
