Does Aviata at Lakeside Oaks Villas accept Medicaid?
Yes. Aviata at Lakeside Oaks Villas is on AHCA's list of ALFs that take the Medicaid assisted living waiver. In Florida that waiver runs through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care long-term care program.
The waiver pays for care services, not room and board. Being on the list doesn't promise an open Medicaid bed, so ask how many waiver residents it takes right now.
