Neighborly Care Network has been providing health and wellness programs to seniors and their families for 43 years.

We are proud of the fact that we started the first federally funded Meals on Wheels program in the United States in 1968, and that same year, we opened the first Adult Day Care center in the nation.


Neighborly is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of dedicated employees and volunteers whose mission is improved health, wellness and independent living for individuals and families.

Celebrating a new chapter in the history of Neighborly Care Network Minimize

Neighborly has broken ground on a new facility that will help the agency continue its mission of improved health, wellness and independent living for individuals and families. Click here to see pictures of our groundbreaking ceremony.

In 2003, Pinellas County purchased the property that for 20 years was the headquarters for Neighborly Care Network. The County planned to use the property to expand the St. Pete/Clearwater Airport. As part of the payment, the County gave Neighborly six acres of land on Evergreen Avenue. After renting space for a few years, Neighborly is now thrilled to be building its new headquarters.

“While we are excited to be moving to a new facility, the need for it underscores the reality that there is a lot of work to do in Pinellas County to help our elderly citizens get the services they so desperately need,” says Neighborly's President/CEO Debra Shade. She continues, “Since we opened our doors in 1966, our goal has been to provide services to seniors and their families. With our elderly population multiplying at such a fast rate, the need for services has continued to grow. We plan to expand some of our existing services, including Nutrition and Adult Day Care, as well as create other new and innovative programs, once we move into the new space. We expect to make an even larger impact in this community by offering hope to families that are struggling to keep their loved ones at home and out of nursing homes. We want to help those families that may face job losses because they have to take care of elderly parents. Many seniors live alone and can no longer cook for themselves. Senior citizens who face medical expenses often sacrifice food for that care. These are real people who are at risk of going hungry or ending up in nursing homes.”

PACE Program Minimize

Neighborly Care Network is currently pursuing the opportunity to become a provider for PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly). The Neighborly PACE program will serve individuals age 55 and over, who are certified by the state of Florida to need nursing home care, are able to live safely in the community at the time of enrollment, and live in the Pinellas County area.

In anticipation of this new opportunity, Neighborly is looking for qualified individuals to work for this program. For more information regarding these, as well as other job opportunities,
