No Wrong Door / ADRC
State and local aging/disability navigation systems can connect people with long-term services, caregiver support and benefits.
Find your state →FUNDING & BENEFITS
There may be help you have not been told about.
Start with national/state gateways, then build a verified state-by-state list of waivers, respite, grants, employment, recreation, equipment, transportation and free or discounted supports.
FIND WAYS TO PAY
Start with what you need.
Funding channels to investigate
- Medicaid HCBS / waiver
- Lifespan Respite / state respite coalition
- State developmental-disability services
- Caregiver grants / nonprofit assistance
These are possibilities to investigate—not a determination that you qualify or that a particular service will be covered.
Start with the state system
For Florida, use the official No Wrong Door / Aging & Disability Resource network to identify the state and local agencies that administer long-term services and supports.
Find the official state entry pointFor developmental disabilities in Florida, also check APD/iBudget eligibility and provider/service navigation.
Florida APD →Questions to ask
- Is there a waiver, State Plan benefit or grant that can pay for this type of service?
- Is there a waitlist, and can I apply before I urgently need the service?
- Can services be self-directed or can a family-selected worker be paid?
- Does another system—VR, school, Medicaid, transit or a nonprofit—fund this need?
- If I am denied, what appeal or alternative program should I ask about?
