Does Suncoast East accept Medicaid?
Suncoast East 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.
See ALFs that accept Medicaid in Sarasota and every Florida ALF on the waiver list, or read how the Medicaid waiver for assisted living works.
