How to pay for assisted living in Tampa

Many families in Tampa rely on a combination of financial resources to help cover assisted living expenses for a parent. Common options include personal savings, proceeds from selling a home, long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, and Florida’s Medicaid programs. Combining these sources can make ongoing costs more manageable and help ensure your parent continues to receive consistent care and support.

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 financial programs that may help eligible veterans and surviving spouses pay for part of their assisted living costs, easing monthly expenses for families. These benefits can provide meaningful long-term support for seniors who need ongoing care. Programs commonly used to help with assisted living include:

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

Because VA programs have detailed applications and specific eligibility requirements, it’s important to navigate the process carefully. Working with a VA-accredited benefits counselor can help ensure all documents are accurate, minimize delays, and increase the chance that your loved one receives the full support they deserve.

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:

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 Tampa, Florida

To apply for Florida Medicaid, elderly residents in Tampa 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:

Hillsborough County Social Services
601 E. Kennedy Blvd.
Tampa, FL 33602
Phone: 813-272-5220

Medicare

Medicare provides health insurance for adults age 65 and older, as well as for younger individuals with certain qualifying medical conditions.^[04] 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.
