Senior Resource Alliance - SRA Florida

Every member of the Senior Resource Alliance team plays a vital role in helping Central Floridians maintain their independence as they age.

That includes Advisory Council member Carolyn Sawyer, who was recently featured in Stroll Bay Hill. When she’s not using her decades of experience to serve local older adults, she’s taking care of her flourishing garden, including a beautiful arrangement of desert rose.

Today, we’re celebrating Senior Resource Alliance President & CEO Karla Radka, who has once again been recognized by Orlando magazine as “One to Watch.”

This month, the outlet celebrated her and other honorees in a special October issue.

Congrats, Karla! 🎉

The Medicare Open Enrollment Period is officially underway.

While you don’t have to change your coverage, Senior Resource Alliance recommends comparing your existing plan with your current needs before making a final decision.

You don’t have to do it alone, either. Our SHINE program provides free, unbiased, one-on-one healthcare counseling to Medicare beneficiaries in Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Brevard counties.

Ready to schedule a session? Call 407-514-1818.

We want to send a huge thank you to the Central Florida community for welcoming K9 Valor with open arms.

This month, we donated him to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office as part of our Bringing the Lost Home project, which has provided 11 bloodhounds to local law enforcement agencies to assist in missing person searches.

Together, Valor and his handler, Deputy Luis Paredes-Labrador, will be protecting vulnerable individuals across Osceola County.

Partnerships make our community stronger.

We’re proud to have once again collaborated with YMCA of Central Florida for the third annual Healthy Seniors Day, during which attendees participated in free wellness classes, learned about our local programs and received storm supplies.

Thank you, Spectrum News 13, for covering this important event!

After what was Hurricane Isaias impacted parts of the state, a Central Florida group used the opportunity to raise awareness — and heart rates.

Every year, Senior Resource Alliance connects tens of thousands of Central Floridians to services that help them continue living independently in their own home, and at the helm of that 41-year mission is Karla Radka.

Orlando Voyager recently featured our President & CEO in an article detailing her positive impact on the aging community.

Happy Healthy Seniors Day!

Today, the Senior Resource Alliance team spread out across Central Florida to participate in YMCA of Central Florida's annual event.

Y Family Centers opened their doors to everyone in the community for free wellness activities, including group exercises and pickleball as well as our tai chi and fall prevention classes. We were on site to distribute storm supplies and scent kits while also informing attendees about the important programs we offer, such as Medicare counseling through the SHINE program.

To learn more about healthy aging, call our Elder Helpline at 407-514-1800.

We have a furry announcement to make!

Senior Resource Alliance is proud to introduce you to K9 Valor, the bloodhound we donated to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.

Valor completed extensive training with our partners at Scent Evidence K9 to be able to find missing persons, particularly those with dementia and developmental disabilities.

We’re excited to work with Sheriff Christopher Blackmon and his deputies to keep our community safe through our Bringing the Lost Home project, which has provided local law enforcement with 11 K9s since the program launched in 2021.

Vivir de forma independiente y mantener el bienestar físico van de la mano.

Por eso, nos enorgullece colaborar nuevamente con YMCA of Central Florida en el evento Healthy Seniors Day, que se llevará a cabo el 7 de octubre.

⏰ De 10:00 a. m. a 1:00 p. m., personas podrán visitar cualquiera de las 15 sedes de la YMCA para participar en actividades gratuitas, como clases de tai chi y sesiones de prevención de caídas, además de conocer nuestros programas y recursos comunitarios.

También estaremos distribuyendo suministros para tormentas a las personas afectadas por el huracán Ian en los condados de Orange, Osceola, Seminole y Brevard, así como kits de conservación de aroma, una herramienta útil para ayudar en la localización de personas desaparecidas.
