Assisted Living Articles and Resources

Established by the federal government in 1965 as a way to extend health coverage to low-income Americans of all ages,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.medicaid.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medicaid</a> provides basic health care to citizens who cannot afford health insurance. The program is jointly funded by the federal and state governments, and each state administers their own Medicaid program.&nbsp; 
 
In Florida,&nbsp;<a href="http://files.kff.org/attachment/fact-sheet-medicaid-state-FL" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">approximately 88 percent</a> of adults aged 65 and older and persons with disabilities are eligible for free Medicaid coverage. Although the elderly and disabled make up only 29 percent of all Medicaid enrollees in Florida, about 64 percent of Medicaid expenditures&nbsp;in the state go to support seniors and the disabled.&nbsp; 
 
To qualify for free&nbsp;<a href="http://www.myflfamilies.com/service-programs/access/medicaid.shtml" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medicaid coverage in Florida</a>, which is an income cap state (no spend-down is allowed),&nbsp;Florida residents who are 65 years of age and older must meet the following criteria:&nbsp;

	<li>A&nbsp;monthly income of $4,626 or less when applying with a spouse</li>
	<li>Own less than $2,000 in countable assets (as an individual)</li>
	<li>Own less than $3,000 in countable assets (for a couple)</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

 
Under Medicaid rules, income received from any source, including&nbsp;wages, Social Security payments and pensions, is considered.&nbsp;Countable assets&nbsp;include cash, bank balances and all real estate except for the applicant&rsquo;s principal residence, as long as that home is valued at $585,000 or less.&nbsp; 
 
Also exempt from countable assets are one vehicle (per individual or couple) and all personal effects, such as clothing, household furniture and an irrevocable&nbsp;burial trust.&nbsp; 
 
Seniors who require the type of care that&rsquo;s normally provided in a nursing home and qualify for free Medicaid coverage&nbsp;are screened through the <a href="http://elderaffairs.state.fl.us/doea/cares.php" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Comprehensive Assessment and Review for Long-Term Care Services</a>&nbsp;(CARES) program.&nbsp; 
 
The CARES program is federally-mandated for all Medicaid-funded nursing home applicants and those seeking assistance through the <a href="http://elderaffairs.state.fl.us/doea/smmcltc.php" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Statewide Medicaid Managed Care, Long-Term Care Program</a>. Seniors&nbsp;are evaluated&nbsp;by a registered nurse or physician who determines the least invasive care options required, which may include the provision of additional care services within an assisted living setting.&nbsp; 
 
Through the SMMC-LTC program, seniors who reside in an assisted living facility may be prescribed <a href="http://elderaffairs.state.fl.us/doea/smmcltc.php" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">one or more of the following services</a>:&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;
