Who qualifies for assisted living in Florida
A Florida ALF may take adults who need help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing or medication, but who don't need 24-hour nursing care. Before a move in, a doctor or nurse completes a health assessment on AHCA form 1823.
To have Medicaid pay for the care, your parent must be 65 or older, or 18 or older with a disability, qualify for Medicaid and need a nursing facility level of care. AHCA sets out these rules.
