Paying for care
How families pay for senior care in Florida
Medicare
Medicare does not cover assisted living. It covers skilled nursing facility care only after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three days, and only for a limited time. Room, board, and custodial care in an assisted living facility are private pay.
Medicaid
Florida Medicaid does not pay directly for standard assisted living, but the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC) Long-Term Care program and the Optional State Supplement (OSS) provide funding assistance for eligible low-income seniors in participating assisted living facilities. Nursing home care is covered under traditional Medicaid for those who meet financial and medical eligibility.
VA benefits
Through the VA Aid and Attendance benefit, qualifying veterans and surviving spouses can receive up to $2,424 per month (2026 rates) toward assisted living costs, usable at any AHCA-licensed assisted living facility in Florida — not just VA-affiliated communities.
