Does Diamond Spring Retirement Home accept Medicaid?
Yes. Diamond Spring Retirement Home 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.
See ALFs that accept Medicaid in St. Petersburg and every Florida ALF on the waiver list, or read how the Medicaid waiver for assisted living works.
