How to pay for assisted living in St. Petersburg

Many families in St. Petersburg use a mix of financial resources to help cover assisted living costs for a parent. Common options include personal savings, proceeds from selling a home, long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, and Florida’s Medicaid programs. Using multiple sources can make monthly expenses more manageable and help ensure your parent continues to receive steady care, safety, and support.

Private pay options

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

VA benefits

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

Because VA programs have detailed applications and specific eligibility requirements, it’s important to move through the process with care. A VA-accredited benefits counselor can help ensure all documents are complete and accurate, reduce the risk of delays, and improve the likelihood that your loved one receives the full support they qualify for.

Resources for veterans in St. Petersburg

The following organizations offer support and services for the 16,000+ veterans who call St. Petersburg home.[03]

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]
  • SMMC-LTC, a Medicaid waiver program for home and community-based long-term care services[05]

SSI-Related Medicaid is an entitlement program, meaning that any resident who meets eligibility requirements will receive services. SMMC-LTC is not an entitlement, so space may be limited and your loved one may be placed on a wait list.

While neither SSI-Related Medicaid nor SMMC-LTC will cover the cost of room and board in assisted living communities, both may cover the cost of care services, including:

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

Medicaid resources in St. Petersburg, Florida

To apply for Florida Medicaid, elderly residents in St. Petersburg 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:

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.
