Benefits of Membership

With over three decades of operation, the Home Care Association of Florida (HCAF) proudly maintains its position as the leading trade association for the home care industry in Florida. Our primary objective is to advocate for the interests and fulfill the needs of our members, empowering them to deliver the highest quality and most cost-effective services across the state.

Our extensive membership base comprises more than 500 state-licensed home health agencies, including those certified by the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Private Duty (licensed only) agencies, as well as approximately 100 Associate members. Together, these members form a vibrant and comprehensive network within the home care industry.

We express deep gratitude for the critical, front-line service of our members, their workforce, and the patients/clients they serve, especially during these dynamic shifts in health care.

Member Testimonials

  • "You need an organization that you can depend on for the most current news and resources. The monetary investment is small — the return on investment…enormous!" — Kathleen Cody-Guastella (retired), Tallahassee Memorial Home Health Care
  • "I don’t know what all of us would do without HCAF and your staff. I’ve been in home care since 1986 and I have always depended on HCAF. Your resources, connections, and knowledge are invaluable to our agency!" — Susan Versley, HPH Home Health
  • "HCAF continues to strive to meet you at all of your intersections as you journey through the ever-changing landscape of home care, not only now but since the beginning of our membership." — Denise Bellville, Etairos-Comprehensive Home Care
  • "Big or small, size does not matter. HCAF is always there to help with a 'what can I do for you' attitude and the cost to become a member is minimal compared to what you get in return for the support and advocacy locally, statewide, and on the national level." — Anthony Clarizio (retired), UF Health Shands HomeCare
  • "I have been a member for over 20 years, in addition to serving as a District Director and Officer on the Board of Directors. HCAF is always there for its members. The staff and Board are always there with relevant information and educational programs to keep us up to date. They even provide hand-holding services to support members in need. I am so proud of our state association and feel it is the best in the country. HCAF brings knowledge, support, and compassion to our members." — Mary Ann Knee, Unique Med Home Health Care Services
  • "As a member of HCAF, I feel like I am never alone. I am armed with the most up-to-date information regarding licensure and government updates or pending legislation and I always have a voice representing my best interests in Tallahassee. Whether I call HCAF in a crisis or with a general question, I always get quick, reliable responses to help me run my business effectively. I also have regular educational opportunities to give me a market advantage. Best membership EVER!!!" — Michelle Rogers, Health First Home Care
  • "I have been a member of this association since before it actually was HCAF. During the last 12 years, I have been fortunate to have the support of HCAF as I served in the positions of Director of Nursing, Clinical Manager, and Administrator, of a very small agency and of a very large agency. I now work as an OASIS Specialist for a consulting firm. In all situations and circumstances, I cannot imagine being without the education, training, advocacy, networking, and great friendships that HCAF has made available to me at all levels. HCAF truly is a bridge over troubled waters." — Glenda Keller, McBee
  • "As a member of HCAF, I am able to see the benefits firsthand and share with others. HCAF curates necessary information to be an informed advocate for the direction of health care. While also providing resources, connections, and projections on how to stay relevant in the care delivery." — Marsha Moor, Trilogy Home Healthcare
  • "As a national home care and hospice consultant, I have worked with numerous state associations across the country. HCAF is second to none in all aspects, but most importantly in the care that they show and the advocacy that they act out on behalf of their membership. There has never been a moment in the life of my company (18 years) that I ever second-guessed or hesitated to act on anything that came from HCAF. The HCAF leadership is always first in line to fight for the rights of its members and will not back down from the national decision-makers being told the concerns that are the real world. HCAF is a very strong association and cares about the survival of agencies." — Melinda Gaboury, Healthcare Provider Solutions
  • "I’ve been attending for more than 10 years and HCAF has the most robust Annual Conference attendance and the best education I've seen. From a vendor standpoint, the networking and business development opportunities are second to none! I highly recommend this event for any company servicing the home care and hospice industries." — Eric Scharber, SimiTree
