We liked Superior Residence of Clermont a lot. It was nice and clean, and it seemed like they cared about their residents a lot. They took the time to answer all of our questions. The rooms were nice but looked a little small. The staff was really nice, too.

The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas
The type of care is the most influential factor in senior care cost pricing, and that’s especially true in Clermont, where assisted living ($3,275) costs less than half of what nursing home ($8,106) care does. While both services include room and board, nursing homes are geared towards seniors who have complex medical needs and require around-the-clock care.
In-home care options, such as a homemaker or home health aide, cost $4,004 per month on top of the regular living expenses associated with maintaining a home.
Senior Care Cost Comparison Chart
Medicaid is the national health insurance plan for Americans in need. It’s funded by federal and state governments. In Florida, the Medicaid program provides 88% of Florida’s elderly and disabled with essential health care services, such as long-term care.
Florida residents aged 65 and older who require long-term, Medicaid-funded services must have a monthly income of $2,313 or less and own fewer than $2,000 ($3,000 for couples) in countable assets to qualify for coverage. Seniors who already receive Supplemental Security Income benefits automatically qualify for aged, blind and disabled Medicaid coverage.
Medicaid rules classify some assets as exempt, such as one vehicle, household items and a residence that the applicant and/or their spouse lives in valued at $585,000 or less.
Qualified Income Trust
Because Florida is an income-cap state, there’s no Medicaid spend-down program. Florida Medicaid does permit the use of a Qualified Income Trust.
Also called a Miller Trust, a QIT is a binding legal agreement that seniors can sign to qualify for Medicaid coverage. The senior agrees to place all income that exceeds Medicaid limits into a trust fund that names the State as the beneficiary in exchange for Medicaid coverage. This trust fund can only be used to pay specific medical expenses and associated legal fees.
Upon death, the QIT is released to the State in order to recoup costs paid on behalf of the Medicaid enrollee.
Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program
Seniors aged 65 and older who have Medicaid coverage and meet the clinical criteria for nursing home placement may be eligible for the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long Term Care Program.
The SMMC LTC funds additional community-based support services to seniors in assisted living facilities to reduce the number of seniors living in institutional nursing homes. Services are delivered through a contracted managed care plan and assigned on a case-by-case basis.
SMMC LTC services may include medication management, personal care, rehabilitation, adult day services and access to an emergency response system.
All Florida seniors who request long-term Medicaid services are evaluated through the Comprehensive Assessment and Review for Long-Term Care Services program.
To learn more about Medicaid programs and enrollment, contact ACCESS Florida at (866) 762-2237.
To request a CARES assessment for the SMMC LTC program, call the Lake County Elder Helpline at (800) 262-2243.
Optional State Supplementation
The Optional State Supplementation program provides Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries with additional state funds for use towards their room-and-board costs.
To qualify for OSS, seniors must live in an assisted living facility because they cannot safely live on their own. In addition to the regular SSI benefit, eligible seniors may receive up to $78.40 per month, and couples may receive up to $156.80 per month.
For more information, contact ACCESS Florida at (866) 762-2237.
Veterans Aid and Attendance Benefits and Housebound Allowance
