How to pay for assisted living in Pensacola

Many families in Pensacola use a combination of financial resources to help pay for assisted living for a parent. Common options include personal savings, funds from the sale of a home, long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, and Florida’s Medicaid programs. Using multiple sources together can help manage monthly costs over time and support your parent’s ongoing care needs as they change.

Private pay options

Families often use a combination of personal income and assets to help pay assisted living expenses. Common sources include:

Social Security benefits
Pension payments
Retirement account distributions (e.g., 401k, 401a and 403b, Roth, and others)
Health saving accounts
Proceeds from selling a home or other real estate
Proceeds from a reverse mortgage
Long-term care insurance
Certain kinds of life insurance policies

VA benefits

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers several benefit programs that may help eligible veterans and surviving spouses cover a portion of assisted living costs, helping reduce monthly expenses for families. These benefits can provide valuable long-term financial support for seniors who need ongoing care. VA programs commonly used to help pay for assisted living include:

Veterans Pension and Survivors Pension
Aid and Attendance
Disability Compensation
Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC)

Because VA benefits have detailed application processes and specific eligibility requirements, it’s important to approach them carefully. Working with a VA-accredited benefits counselor can help ensure paperwork is completed accurately, reduce the risk of delays, and improve the likelihood that your loved one receives the full benefits they’re eligible for.

Medicaid

Medicaid is a federal–state program that helps eligible older adults receive essential health and long-term care services. In Florida, the Medicaid program is officially known as Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC). This program helps low-income elderly residents with the cost of care services in assisted living through:

SSI-Related Medicaid, the state’s regular Medicaid plan for elderly and disabled residents ^[04]
Through SMMC-LTC, a Medicaid waiver program for home and community-based long-term care services^[05]

SSI-Related Medicaid is an entitlement program, which means that any Florida resident who meets the eligibility requirements is guaranteed to receive covered services. Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC-LTC) is not an entitlement program, so enrollment may be limited and your loved one could be placed on a waitlist.

Although neither SSI-Related Medicaid nor the SMMC-LTC program covers room and board costs in assisted living communities, both programs may help pay for certain care-related services, including:

Home health care
Physical, occupational, or speech therapy
Meal assistance
Support with activities of daily living (ADLs)
Housekeeping and related in-home services
Transportation

Eligibility for both programs depends on a person’s income and assets, as well as their need for health care support.

Medicaid resources in Pensacola

To apply for Florida Medicaid, elderly residents in Pensacola can:

Complete an online application at the ACCESS Florida website
Visit a local Family Resource Center or a Community Partner within the Florida Department of Children and Families network
Complete a paper or telephone application by calling the MyACCESS customer call center at 850-300-4323

If you and your loved one have questions about how to apply or the status of an application, you can contact:

Northwest Florida Area Agency on Aging
5090 Commerce Park Circle
Pensacola, FL 32505
Phone: 866-531-8011
Email: info@nwflaaa.org

Medicare

Medicare provides health insurance for adults age 65 and older, as well as for younger individuals with certain qualifying medical conditions.^[06] Although it won’t cover monthly assisted living rent, it can help lower your loved one’s overall medical expenses by paying for prescriptions, durable medical equipment, and other approved health services.
