The Home Care Association of Florida (HCAF) has been Florida’s voice for the home care provider community since 1989. HCAF exists to provide representation, communication, and advocacy for home care providers, and to give them the education and resources they need to deliver high-quality, cost-effective services to patients/clients at home.
Our diverse membership includes both for-profit and not-for-profit agencies delivering Medicare- and Medicaid-funded services, as well as private pay providers. We’re also supported by Associate members — organizations that offer critical products and services to the home care industry.
Each year, HCAF hosts more than 75 continuing education and professional development programs designed to keep providers informed, skilled, and prepared for changes in policy and practice. Our signature event, HomeCareCon, is Florida’s premier annual conference and trade show for the home care community. We also offer targeted training opportunities, including the Home Care Warm Up for Medicare providers and the Private Care Symposium for private pay agencies.
HCAF’s experienced public policy team works year-round — alongside our partners at Continental Strategy — to advocate on behalf of our members at both the state and federal levels. We maintain strong relationships with key regulatory agencies, including Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). We also regularly work with the eight Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC) program health plans, as well as Palmetto GBA, the 16-state Medicare Administrative Contractor, on behalf of our members. In addition, we collaborate with national organizations such as the National Alliance for Care at Home and the Partnership for Medicaid Home-Based Care.
