Liberty County's official, 100% free, unbiased, and non-commissioned Medicare, Medigap, Prescription Drug (Part D), and Senior Financial Benefit Counseling network—administered by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) and the U.S. Administration for Community Living (ACL) State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) through DOEA Planning and Service Area 2 (PSA 2) regional agency Advantage Aging Solutions (Area Agency on Aging for North Florida, Inc., Florida Sunbiz 501(c)(3) Document #743340, EIN 59-1844633, 2414 Mahan Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32308; Toll-Free PSA 2 SHINE Helpline 1-866-467-4624 / Florida Elder Helpline 1-800-96-ELDER [1-800-963-5337] / Main Office (850) 488-0055). Across Liberty County, state-certified SHINE counselors coordinate one-on-one consultations, telephone enrollment, and Open Enrollment outreach through four local community anchors in Bristol (32321) and Hosford (32334): (1) Liberty County Senior Citizens Association, Inc. — Bristol Main Senior Center at 15629 NW County Road 12 (P.O. Box 730), Bristol, FL 32321 ((850) 643-5613 / (850) 643-5690; active Florida 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, Sunbiz Document #739351, FEI/EIN 59-1769552, incorporated June 14, 1977; Registered Agent Rudy Sumner), which serves as Liberty County's statutory Community Care for the Elderly (CCE) and OAA Title III lead senior agency; (2) Hosford Senior Center (operated by Liberty County Senior Citizens Association, Inc. #739351) at 21849 NE State Road 65 (also indexed on the SR-65 corridor at 17111 NE SR 65), Hosford, FL 32334 ((850) 379-8327), serving seniors in Hosford (32334), Telogia (32360), and Sumatra (32335); and (3) Liberty County's public library branches (operated under the Northwest Regional Library System [NWRLS] and cross-referenced with adjacent Wilderness Coast Public Libraries outreach)—including the Harrell Memorial Public Library in Bristol at 13016 NW County Road 12 (historically cross-referenced on the State Road 20 civic corridor at 10900 NW SR 20), Bristol, FL 32321 ((850) 643-2247), the Jimmy Weaver Memorial Library in Hosford at 22149 NE State Road 20, Hosford, FL 32334 ((850) 379-3300, Fax (850) 379-3303), and the Lake Mystic Branch Library at 13895 NW CR 12, Bristol, FL 32321. Because rural Liberty County has no in-county hospital and limited Medicare Advantage HMO specialist networks, SHINE counselors perform critical side-by-side comparisons between Original Medicare + Medigap Supplement policies (guaranteeing access to Calhoun-Liberty Hospital 4 miles west in Blountstown and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare / HCA Florida Capital Hospital in Tallahassee) versus Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans, audit Part D drug formularies at PanCare Pharmacy / Golden Pharmacy under the $2,000 federal out-of-pocket cap, and file applications for Florida Medicare Savings Programs (QMB, SLMB, QI-1—saving eligible seniors $2,200+/year on Part B premiums) and Social Security Extra Help (Low-Income Subsidy / LIS) (acceptsMedicaid: false).
