Governor Rick Scott’s 2014-2015 funding recommendations include an increase of more than $33 million to support Florida seniors through the “Enriching Seniors Initiative.” Florida Department of Elder Affairs Secretary Charles Corley is praising Scott for pushing the initiative. Secretary Corley stated, “Through his Enriching Seniors Initiative, the Governor is providing funding to reduce waitlists for our frailest elders in need of services, expand programs that protect impoverished elders needing guardianship, and protect the welfare and rights of long-term care residents.”
