What is CARES?
Founded in 1973 as the Pasco County Council on Aging, CARES has evolved from a grassroots volunteer initiative into a sophisticated, multi-faceted non-profit organization. Operating as a licensed Medicaid and Medicare provider, the firm delivers a robust suite of services including home health care, senior enrichment programming, and free medical clinics for the uninsured. Its market position is defined by its dual role as a direct service provider and a regional advocate for aging populations. By maintaining a workforce of over 150 professionals, CARES addresses critical gaps in the healthcare continuum, effectively bridging the divide between clinical necessity and community-based social support for older adults across West Central Florida.

As CARES transitions into its next phase of growth, the focus will remain on enhancing the efficiency of its adult day health centers and expanding the reach of its wellness and educational programming. By optimizing its service delivery model and strengthening its advocacy efforts, the organization is poised to reinforce its status as a leader in regional elder care, ensuring that its operational framework remains sustainable and responsive to the evolving needs of the community it serves.
