Care Questions in Florida

Yes, Florida Medicaid can help cover nursing home costs for eligible residents. Most states require applicants to meet income and asset limits. Contact your local Area Agency on Aging or Medicaid office for specific eligibility requirements in Florida.

You can file a complaint with the Florida Long-Term Care Ombudsman program or the state's health department survey agency. For immediate concerns about abuse or neglect, contact Adult Protective Services. All complaints can be made anonymously.

The average monthly cost for nursing home care in Florida is approximately $9,100. However, costs vary significantly by city and level of care needed. Private rooms typically cost 10-20% more than semi-private rooms.

Start by reviewing CMS 5-star ratings, which combine health inspection results, staffing levels, and quality measures. Visit facilities in person, talk to current residents and families, and check for any history of abuse or violations. Look for facilities with consistent staffing and specialized care if needed.
