I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

I have a friend that lives at Argo and she love it. The food is great and they care a lot. I never saw a place like this. It is like a family. It is clean and it was the first place that I met the owners. My friend came from a big assisting living to Argo. She feels more cared and loved. Everyone knows her by name and she knows all the people that take care of her by name. I highly recommend Argo.

I liked Brookdale West Palm Beach. It's a lovely place. The staff during the tour was great. The apartments we saw were all 1-bedroom. They had cards, games, fitness classes, art classes, and pool. The whole day was filled with activities. They had cars or buses and trips to malls. They had a washer and dryer in the unit.

I was an in-patient at Joseph L. Morse Health Center and I have nothing but good things to say. I had a beautiful and private room. The food was excellent and so was the staff. The cleanliness was excellent. The doctors were excellent and they attended to everything. They were very meticulous with everything. The rehab was the best. They just didn't take insurance so everything was out of pocket (except for rehab).

My father is living at Argo Senior Living at Haverhill Road and it seems OK right now. They have activities for them. It's clean and the staff is friendly. My father's room is spacious and the lighting is good. They just need updating.

I went to the Fountainview and thought it was pretty good and very nice. It was a newer place that had a slightly younger crowd. They had a pool, card room, Wi-Fi, and card games. We had a meal, and the food was good.

I visited Palm Garden of West Palm Beach. I like it for my mom. Everything looked OK, and it was clean overall. The person that showed me around was good, she was a nice girl. She showed me a room, which was a nice size, and the kitchen was also big. She also showed me the room for rehabilitation.

I visited this facility

I liked Brookdale. It had a pool, and a pretty, relaxing fountain. I thought the staff was excellent, knowledgeable, and helpful. The rooms were comparable, simple, clean, and served the purpose. I felt it was well maintained. The location was easy for us and accessible. They had painting, arts and crafts, and bingo. It seemed to be a community of people who liked each other, were active, and talked to each other. That would be the place I would choose.

I Visited This Community

City Walk's building was very old. They have done work on it to fix it but it still had an old and dark feeling. The person there was very nice. They had a calendar of events for the week, and said they're trying to keep the residents busy. It's not cheerful, so they should at least try to make it brighter and lighter. The rooms were also dark and depressing. There should be more light. If a place is dark and dreary, you start to feel dark and dreary when you walk in.

Care Cost Comparison

In West Palm Beach, as in many other places, the type of care heavily influences the cost. Nursing home expenses in this city are more than double those for assisted living, while adult day health care, at $1,408, is significantly less expensive. Costs for in-home services, including home health aides and homemaker assistance, fall in the mid-range for care and are comparable to costs for assisted living. Individuals considering non-residential senior-care services should also factor in expenses for housing, meals, transportation and other essentials.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in West Palm Beach

Medicaid in Florida

Older Florida residents who meet specific income and asset requirements can receive medical care assistance through SSI-related Medicaid. Singles must bring in no more than $891 monthly, while married couples with both spouses applying must make no more than $1,208 a month.

Residents who qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) automatically qualify for Medicaid services and should work directly with the Social Security Administration to obtain benefits. Other eligible individuals should visit ACCESS Florida or call 866-762-2237 to obtain further information or apply.

Qualified seniors who enroll in the statewide Managed Medical Assistance (MMA) program receive access to comprehensive services, including primary care, hospital stays, nursing homes, home health care, prescription drugs, adult day health care and skilled nursing, depending on need.

For Florida seniors who require long-term care, the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program (SMMC LTC) provides Medicaid-eligible individuals with community services, in-home programs and placement in assisted living. Case managers assess a participant’s care requirements and develop a plan to ensure care in the least restrictive environment possible. Plan benefits may include assisted living, adult foster care and home-delivered meals.

To qualify for SMMC LTC services, applicants must be 65 or older (applicants under 64 must be designated as disabled), be legal Florida residents, meet general Medicaid eligibility requirements and need a nursing-facility level of care. An applicant’s income and assets must not exceed $2,313 per month combined, while couples applying jointly cannot exceed $4,626.

Interested seniors can call the Elder Helpline at 800-262-2243 to request a screening for home- and community-based services. During screening interviews, primary caregivers will be asked to provide basic information, including the applicant’s income and a description of care needs.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

The Optional State Supplementation (OSS) Program

Low-income Florida seniors already residing in care facilities, such as assisted living, can apply for the Optional State Supplementation (OSS) Program, which provides financial assistance for room and board. Payments vary by the facility type, with a maximum of $239 monthly for individuals and $487 for couples.

To qualify, applicants must be 65 or older (unless disabled) and in residential care. Monthly income cannot exceed $828.40 for individuals and $1,656.80 for couples. Income limits are moderately higher for residents in mental health care facilities. Additional asset limits apply and are similar to those required for Medicaid approval. To apply for this program, you can visitACCESS Florida.

VA Aid and Attendance Program

Eligible veterans or their surviving spouses who need help with assisted living costs should explore the VA Aid and Attendance Program, which provides funding beyond the basic VA pension to offset costs of care. The VA Aid and Attendance Program is available to veterans over 65 who require help with activities of daily living.

Because of the complex financial eligibility requirements for this program, potential applicants should visit their local VA benefits office.

Assisted Living and Elderlife Bridge Loans

Elderlife bridge loans provide a temporary solution for individuals and families in need of immediate funds for assisted living. They’re ideal for seniors who are in the midst of selling a home or awaiting benefit approval. Bridge loans can be taken as a lump-sum disbursement or a line of credit and generally have a quick approval process time. For families looking to share expenses, multiple borrowers may apply for a single loan.

While lenders do consider credit scores, the importance of individual creditworthiness diminishes on applications with multiple borrowers. Since bridge loans are generally family loans, the age and health of the senior receiving care doesn’t factor into the approval process. Lenders generally require information regarding the source of anticipated permanent funding.

For further information on assisted living and Elderlife bridge loans, contact Elderlife Financial Services.
