Does Faithful Friends, Inc. accept Medicaid?
Faithful Friends, Inc. 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 Bradenton and every Florida ALF on the waiver list, or read how the Medicaid waiver for assisted living works.
Monthly cost at Faithful Friends, Inc.

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.
