Does Serenity Pointe accept Medicaid?
Serenity Pointe 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.

Monthly cost at Serenity Pointe
AHCA doesn't collect prices, so the state record has no rate for Serenity Pointe. 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.
