Does Brightstar Assisted Living LLC accept Medicaid?
Brightstar Assisted Living LLC isn't on AHCA's Medicaid waiver list. It does tell the state it accepts Medicaid as a form of payment, which can mean another Medicaid service such as Assistive Care Services. Ask which Medicaid program it bills before you count on it.
It also has Optional State Supplement beds. OSS is a Florida cash payment that helps residents with a low income pay an ALF's rent.
See ALFs that accept Medicaid in Port St. Lucie and every Florida ALF on the waiver list, or read how the Medicaid waiver for assisted living works.
Monthly cost at Brightstar Assisted Living LLC
