Read more Whickshire Countryside reviewsAccording to Genworth’s 2018 Cost of Care study, costs for assisted living in Clearwater are lower than the national average of $4,000 and similar to the state average of $3,500.

Cost of Assisted Living Comparison Chart
Senior care costs are largely based on the level of care needed, the services that are included and the location. In Clearwater, nursing home care is more than twice the cost of assisted living and home care. Both homemaker and home health aide services are more costly than assisted living. When comparing the costs of all types of care, it’s important to consider expenses that are not included with in-home services such as rent, utilities, food and home maintenance.
Cost of Homemaker/Home Health Aide Comparison Chart
Medicaid is a nationwide health insurance program designed to provide low-income, low-asset Americans with access to basic health services. It is jointly funded by the federal and state governments, and in Florida, Medicaid is administered by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration.
Seniors in Florida may be eligible for Medicaid coverage if they have a monthly income of $2,313 or less when applying as a single or $4,626 in joint income when applying with a spouse. Medicaid considers income from all sources including pensions, annuities, alimony and wages.
Asset limits also apply for Medicaid applicants. Individuals may own no more than $2,000 in countable assets, and couples can jointly own no more than $3,000 in countable assets including cash, checking account balances, stocks and investment real estate.
Under Medicaid rules, personal belongings, household effects, one vehicle and a primary residence valued at $585,000 or less are rated as exempt assets.
Seniors aged 65 and older who qualify for Florida Medicaid and require care normally found in a nursing home may be eligible for personal care services while residing in the community or in an assisted living facility. The Florida Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long Term Care Program (SMMC LTC) is designed to reduce the rates of nursing home placement in the state by providing financial assistance to seniors for use towards a homemaker, home health care aide or other supports.
To learn more about Medicaid and the SMMC LTC program, call the Agency for Health Care Administration at (877) 711-3662 or the Florida Elder Helpline at (800) 963-5337.
Optional State Supplementation
Low-income Florida seniors who reside in a licensed assisted living facility may be eligible for benefits through the Optional State Supplementation (OSS) program.
This cash-based Supplemental Security Income (SSI) top-up benefit can be used towards the room and board portion of assisted living costs if the senior is unable to live independently as a result of a disability or age-related deterioration.
Applicants are required to meet financial and personal care eligibility criteria. If approved, individual seniors may receive maximum monthly OSS benefits of $78.40 for an individual and $156.80 for a couple.
To learn more about the OSS in Florida, call ACCESS Florida at (866) 762-2237.
Veterans Aid and Attendance Benefit
Honorably discharged veterans and their survivors who are eligible to receive a VA pension may qualify for a pension top-up to assist with costs related to a chronic illness, disability or incapacity.
To qualify for the Aid and Attendance benefit, applicants must meet at least one of the following conditions:
Veterans Housebound Allowance
The Veterans Housebound allowance is a VA pension top-up allowance available to recipients of the VA pension who:
Note that for both the Aid and Attendance benefit and the Housebound Allowance, disabilities do not need to be service-related. If approved, applicants may only collect benefits for one of these two programs even if they meet the criteria for both benefits.
To learn more about these VA pension top-up programs contact the Clearwater Vet Center at (727) 549-3600.
