Does Emerald Assisted Living Inc. accept Medicaid?
Yes. Emerald Assisted Living Inc. 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 every Florida ALF on the waiver list, or read how the Medicaid waiver for assisted living works.
Monthly cost at Emerald Assisted Living Inc.
AHCA doesn't collect prices, so the state record has no rate for Emerald Assisted Living. The CareScout Cost of Care Survey 2025 puts the Florida median at $5,610 a month for a private one-bedroom unit, against $6,200 for the US.
Ask for the written rates: what the base fee covers, what each level of care adds and how much notice you get before a rise. Our guide to the cost of assisted living in Florida covers the ways to pay.
