About Us: The Florida Coordinators Story
Expert Waiver Support Coordination, Rooted in a Decade of Service.
Florida Coordinators was founded in 2022 by Marcia and Hearlow Francis with a clear vision: to build an agency where expertise and genuine compassion work hand-in-hand. With a combined 19 years of experience as Waiver Support Coordinators, we don't just manage cases—we build lasting partnerships.
Our Founders' Commitment
Marcia (10 years as a WSC) and Hearlow (9 years as a WSC) have dedicated their entire careers to serving individuals with developmental disabilities. Their journey began long before founding this agency, working directly with clients in the Central Florida region. Throughout their careers, they have successfully supported over 120 individuals and families on the iBudget Waiver, with some client relationships spanning the entire decade—a testament to their unwavering dedication and trustworthiness.
A Legacy of Excellence and Trust
Our foundation is built on a profound understanding of the APD system and a commitment to the highest standards. This is demonstrated by our consistent performance, having received high marks in every annual audit since our inception. Our entire team is carefully selected and trained to be not only well-versed in policy and compliance but also deeply empathetic and dedicated to person-centered planning.
At Florida Coordinators, you are more than a client; you are a partner. We leverage our deep experience to navigate the system for you, ensuring you can focus on what truly matters: building a meaningful and empowered life.
