Private Duty Member Benefits

"I just want you to know that the information and help that emanates from HCAF year-in-and-year-out is invaluable. I hope others are as appreciative as I am…AND my staff. It still baffles me that there are agencies in the state that do NOT participate and remain in the ranks of the unwashed masses.”

"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 in health care. While also providing resources, connections, and projections on how to stay relevant in the care delivery."

"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!!!"

"I have been a member for over 20 years, in addition to serving as a 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."

"HCAF is my lifeline. I can’t thank you enough for everything. Your direction makes me a better leader."

“I don't know what all of us would do without HCAF. I've been in home care since 1985 and have always depended on HCAF.”

"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 the national level."

"The guidance from HCAF has been of such great value and so needed in this very changing environment of home health. I look forward to my continued membership and guidance from HCAF!"

"You need an organization that you can depend on for the most current news and resources. The monetary investment is small — the return on the investment...enormous!"

“No question that we will be renewing our membership with HCAF. I could not have survived these past few months without the assistance of HCAF. You have been able to guide me in regards to the ‘needle-in-the-haystack' issues that come up from time to time.”

"I never thought that being a member of this organization would be so helpful, not only now, but since the beginning of our membership. I have seen how important it is to belong to it and I look forward to being member for many years to come.”

"We love being Associate members! HCAF provides such a valuable service to the home care industry in Florida. I just can’t believe how supportive and informative HCAF is… HCAF is always there for its membership.”

"I’ve been attending [HomeCareCon] 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."

“Thank you so much for your help and for taking the time to assist so quickly. I don't ask for help from the association often, but I am pleased to find out that I can get such a prompt answer when I do. This is a good reason to be a member of HCAF. Thanks again!”

"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 (20+ 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."

"I have been a member of HCAF 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 positions of Director of Nursing, Clinical Manager, and Administrator, of a very small agency and of a very large agency. I now work 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."

"We are glad to have joined HCAF and have already benefited greatly from the information learned through the conference and from the website. We are looking forward to a continued membership as we navigate the current challenges in front of our industry.”
