The cost of senior care varies with the type of care, location and number of service hours provided per week. In Pompano Beach, nursing home care is the most expensive option because it provides seniors with 24-hour skilled nursing care in a state-licensed facility. The price of assisted living is on par with 44 hours per week of homemaker or home health aide services. Unlike residential care options for seniors that include room and board, in-home care costs are in addition to ongoing expenses, such as food, utility payments and home maintenance.

Medicaid provides low-income seniors with essential medical care services, including emergency, inpatient and outpatient hospital care, a primary physician and long-term care, using funds provided by the state and federal government.
To ensure Medicaid coverage is offered to all people who would otherwise be left without any health care, Florida has income and asset limits for those seeking Medicaid enrollment. Seniors who already receive Supplemental Security Income are automatically enrolled in Medicaid, and they only need to complete further screening if requesting Medicaid-funded long-term care services.
Florida’s Medicaid income limit for seniors 65 and older is 300% of the federal SSI benefit rate or $2,313 a month for singles and $4,626 for couples.
Note: These amounts are subject to change annually, and income from all sources, including alimony, pensions, wages and investments, are counted.
As an income cap state, Florida seniors with income that exceeds Medicaid limits don’t have the option to spend-down excess income in order to reach Medicaid eligibility levels. Seniors can establish a Qualified Income Trust, also called a Miller Trust, to become eligible for Medicaid by placing excess income into a trust which names the State as the beneficiary.
Seniors must also meet asset limits, currently set at $2,000 for an individual and $3,000 for a couple applying together. Some assets are considered exempt, including one vehicle, household furnishings, clothing and a home, valued at $585,000 or less, in which the applicant lives.
Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program
Florida offers a Medicaid waiver for seniors who meet the criteria for nursing home placement but prefer to reside in an assisted living facility.
The Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program provides medically necessary services to seniors in order for them to live safely in an assisted living community.
To qualify for the SMMC LTC, seniors must complete an assessment through the Comprehensive Assessment and Review for Long-Term Care Services program, which screens all Medicaid enrollees seeking long-term care. A designated CARES physician or registered nurse reviews each assessment and if appropriate refers the senior to the SMMC LTC program.
If accepted, seniors may be eligible to receive some or all of the following Medicaid-funded services:
Optional State Supplementation
Like many other states, Florida provides eligible Supplemental Security Income recipients with SSI top-up funding through the Optional State Supplementation program.
Seniors who collect SSI and are unable to live independently due to age-related deterioration may be eligible for up to $78.40 per month ($156.80 per couple) to help pay for the room-and-board portion of assisted living costs.
