Does Sunny Bower accept Medicaid?
Yes. Sunny Bower 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 Bradenton and every Florida ALF on the waiver list, or read how the Medicaid waiver for assisted living works.
Monthly cost at Sunny Bower
AHCA doesn't collect prices, so the state record has no rate for Sunny Bower. 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.
