In 2016, the Florida Department of Elder Affairs conducted a statewide survey to measure elder Floridians’ needs. Questions were asked of 2,000 elders regarding their self-care limitations, nutrition, health care, and other matters that significantly affect seniors. Descriptive results have been compiled in the 2016 Report and include special state-level tabulations for “hard-to-measure” populations of minority, low-income, and rural elders.
