The costs for senior care services&nbsp;vary per the types of care provided, the number of monthly service hours&nbsp;needed and the staff to senior ratio. The monthly price for assisted living in Hialeah ($3,350) is similar to homemaker and home health aide fees, while nursing home care in a semiprivate room costs more than double all other senior care services.&nbsp; In addition to the different services and supports offered with each senior care option, seniors should also consider additional costs involved with in-home services. Unlike residential care, such as assisted living where room and board is included, seniors who opt to stay in their own homes continue&nbsp;paying the ongoing household expenses, including home maintenance, property taxes and HOA fees.&nbsp; Cost of Homemaker/Home Health Aide Comparison Chart

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; 
&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>A&nbsp;monthly income of $2,313 or less when applying as an individual</li>
	<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;

&nbsp;

	<li>Medication administration&nbsp;and management</li>
	<li>Personal or attendant care</li>
	<li>Case management</li>

Our unique, thoughtful and focused approach to assisted living is based on extensive experience and an unwavering commitment to treating our residents as family. Our unrivaled nutritious cuisine is prepared by professional chefs because we know good food is integral to good health.

We promote a sense of community through stimulating and sociable activities and our expansive gardens allow for fresh air, exercise, and sunshine to be a part of everyday life. Our residents love being here and so do we; CEO Kathryn Kassner has led the Bay Oaks team since 1998 and our dedicated team members have worked at Bay Oaks on average for over ten years.

We break the institutional mold here, and our residents thrive because their home is as individualized as they are. While providing the highest level of assisted living services, including a 1 to-1 staff ratio, we have made it our mission to ban institutional from our campus. We modernized our historic campus with fine attention to preserving the character or our buildings and green spaces, which span nearly two acres, just steps from Biscayne Bay.

Each of our rooms is individually decorated with classic solid wood furniture, one hundred percent cotton linens, original paintings, and fresh flowers from the garden. We serve the highest quality, chef-prepared meals, featuring organically grown fruits and fresh herbs from our gardens.

Our exceptional location on 34th Street near Biscayne Bay is minutes away from Mount Sinai Hospital and the University of Miami Health District; the second largest medical district in the United States.
