DOEA AAA Enhanced Home Care Elderly Program

The Florida Master Agreement ME228 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) focused on providing enhanced home and community-based services for seniors aged 60 and older. The contract enables proactive, client-directed services including home modifications, self-management support, and caregiver assistance for individuals either enrolled in Florida Medicaid or at risk of nursing home placement. Each participant can receive up to $6,000 in services designed to increase function, independence, and healthy living, with a priority placed on seniors at imminent risk of institutional care or transitioning between social services.

The master agreement is awarded to Senior Connection Center Inc. by the Agency for Health Care Administration, with an initial contract period from November 1, 2022, to October 31, 2023 (subsequently amended to extend through March 31, 2024). The contract is funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Medical Care Trust Fund, with a total contract value initially set at $4,584,982.62 and subsequently reduced to $3,974,784.58. The IDV covers the state of Florida and is structured as a master agreement with potential for renewal up to three years, allowing for flexible implementation of home and community-based elder care services.
