The Home Care Association of Florida (HCAF) is pleased to announce the release of our 2025 Florida Legislative Session Report, an in-depth analysis of the legislative and budget decisions that will shape the future of home care in Florida.

This members-only publication offers a comprehensive look at:

• Key legislative wins, including landmark regulatory modernization for home health agencies.
• Budget outcomes and Medicaid funding decisions that directly impact access, workforce, and operations.
• Strategic advocacy efforts that elevated the voice of Florida’s home care community at the Capitol.

Among this year’s highlights are the passage of House Bill 1353, removing outdated regulatory barriers, Senate Bill 1156, strengthening the Family Home Health Aide Program, and Senate Bill 1490, directing a major redesign of the Medicaid Model Waiver. The report also outlines ongoing challenges, such as stagnant Medicaid reimbursement rates and growing workforce pressures, reinforcing why continued advocacy is essential.

This annual publication is one of the most important member benefits HCAF offers — providing you with the insight, context, and strategy needed to stay ahead of policy changes that affect your agency, your staff, and the patients you serve.
