There are significant differences between each type of senior care service, and these differences are reflected in the monthly&nbsp;costs. Nursing home care involves ongoing skilled nursing in a licensed residential setting, which is why nursing home prices in Fort Pierce are more than double the costs of assisted living.&nbsp; In-home senior care, such as a homemaker or home health aide, has costs similar to assisted living in Fort Pierce based on 44 hours a week of direct service. Unlike assisted living, which includes room and board, in-home care seniors continue to be responsible for ongoing expenses, such as utility bills, groceries and home maintenance.&nbsp;

Medicaid, the nationwide health coverage program for low-income children, adults and seniors, provides basic health care for <a href="http://files.kff.org/attachment/fact-sheet-medicaid-state-FL" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://files.kff.org/attachment/fact-sheet-medicaid-state-FL" rel="noopener noreferrer">16% of Florida’s residents</a>. About 29% of the elderly and disabled in Florida are on Medicaid, and 64% of Florida’s Medicaid expenditures&nbsp;go towards emergency, acute and long-term services for seniors and disabled individuals.&nbsp; Because Medicaid is designed to help those who cannot afford health insurance, seniors must meet strict&nbsp;<a href="https://www.medicaidplanningassistance.org/medicaid-eligibility-florida" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.medicaidplanningassistance.org/medicaid-eligibility-florida" rel="noopener noreferrer">asset and income limits</a> to qualify for coverage. Individuals can earn no more than $2,313 a month, while couples applying together have an income limit of $4,626. Income from all sources is counted towards Medicaid limits, including wages, alimony payments, pension&nbsp; and any income earned from rental properties.&nbsp; Asset limits are also in place for Medicaid applicants. Individuals can own no more than $2,000 in countable assets, while couples&nbsp;are limited to $3,000 in cash, stocks, bonds and real estate. Some assets are exempt, such as one vehicle, a home that the applicant owns and lives in worth up to $585,000 and a non-revocable&nbsp;burial trust.&nbsp; Note: Florida is a Medicaid cap state, which means seniors with incomes that exceed Medicaid limits cannot qualify for Medicaid by spending down the excess income.&nbsp; Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program Florida has a Medicaid waiver program for Medicaid enrollees who need the type of care normally provided in a nursing home.
