What Medicaid pays for in a Florida ALF

Florida Medicaid pays for assisted living care through the long-term care part of Statewide Medicaid Managed Care. It covers services such as personal care and help with medication. It doesn't pay room and board, so rent and meals still come from your parent's own income.

How to get on the waiver in Melbourne

Call your local Aging and Disability Resource Center or the Elder Helpline at 1-800-96-ELDER to be screened. The Department of Elder Affairs decides whether the care need is high enough; the Department of Children and Families checks income and assets.

There's often a waitlist, so get screened early. Elder Affairs explains the steps. Then call the Melbourne ALFs below to ask who has a waiver bed.
