First, tour one of our centers to see if it is a good fit for you and your loved one. You do not have to call to arrange a tour, but it is best not to arrive between 12:00 and 1:00 pm as staff are helping clients with their lunch. Next, complete the forms that the center staff give you and then call the center of your choice to get started. For additional assistance with enrollment call 407-423-5311.
