Tampa is putting more focus on helping older adults stay at home while getting the care they need. With more seniors choosing to age in place, the city is increasing support for home care services like personal assistance, nursing, and daily check-ins.
Local agencies are offering more training for caregivers and using technology like video calls and health monitoring apps to stay connected with patients. Families say these updates help their loved ones feel safe, independent, and well cared for.
Officials believe that by strengthening home care, seniors can avoid hospital visits and live healthier lives. Tampa is also working with healthcare providers to make these services more affordable for everyone.
