Office on Aging

The Orange County Office on Aging is dedicated to supporting seniors and caregivers throughout our increasingly diverse cultural community. The Office on Aging offers a wide range of programs, activities and resources to facilitate and support the desires of our residents to successfully age in place. By promoting community engagement and providing connection to essential services, the Office on Aging continues to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to enhancing the well-being of older adults throughout Orange County.

Commission on Aging

The Commission on Aging was established as an advisory board under the Orange County Board of County Commissioners in 2001. Today, the Commission on Aging consists of 11 board members and meets bi-monthly to plan for the needs of Central Florida elders.

Goal 1 — Act as a resource to Orange County Government staff and the Board of County Commissioners on aging issues, and to help in policy formation and implementation

Goal 2 — Increase community awareness of senior issues and programs through educational outreach, public forums and the media

Goal 3 — Build coordinated community response to elder needs through effective community partnerships
