Florida Medicaid Programs

Florida’s Medicaid provides financial assistance through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC-LTC) Program, offering services that delay nursing home placement. Eligibility is based on age, income, and health requirements, with a cap on assets for applicants.

Regulations and Licensing

Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) in Florida are licensed to provide different levels of care, including limited nursing services. Facilities offering dementia care must meet specific staffing and training requirements, ensuring 24-hour care and memory care-specific training for staff.

Resources for Seniors 

Various programs are available to assist seniors, including food assistance, legal aid, home repairs, and veteran services. Programs like Meals on Wheels, SNAP, and the Florida Rx Card offer financial and health-related support.
