Assisted Living Costs in MiamiCare Cost Comparison

Costs for senior care vary based on the level of care provided, the number of direct-service hours and whether or not room and board are included. In Miami, the cost of nursing home care in a semiprivate room is more than double the cost of assisted living, while in-home services, such as a home health aide or homemaker services, cost about the same as assisted living. When comparing the cost of senior care, it’s important to factor in expenses related to nonresidential care. Day-to-day living expenses, such as rent, mortgage payments,&nbsp;utility bills and food, are usually included in assisted&nbsp;living and nursing home costs.&nbsp; Cost of Homemaker/Home Health Aide Comparison Chart

Optional State Supplementation 
 
<a href="http://www.fdhc.state.fl.us/SCHS/ALWG/archived/docs/2011/2011-11-07_08/OSSFACT-102011.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Optional State Supplementation</a>&nbsp;(OSS) is a cash-based Supplemental Security Income (SSI)&nbsp;top up program that provides additional funds&nbsp;to low-income seniors aged 65 and older who&nbsp;are unable to live independently due to mental and/or physical deterioration or disability.&nbsp; 
 
OSS&nbsp;funds can be used towards the room and board cost of residential care for seniors such as an adult family care home or an assisted living facility. In most cases, the <a href="https://www.dcf.state.fl.us/programs/access/docs/esspolicymanual/a_12.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">maximum monthly OSS&nbsp;payment</a>&nbsp;in Florida is $78.40 for an individual and $156.80 for a couple.&nbsp; 
 
For more information on OSS&nbsp;in Florida, contact the Florida Department of Children and Families through&nbsp;<a href="http://www.dcf.state.fl.us/contact-us/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ACCESS Florida</a> at (866) 762-2237 or&nbsp;visit the <a href="https://www.dcf.state.fl.us/service-programs/access/map.shtml" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Miami-Dade&nbsp;ACCESS Central Service Center</a>.&nbsp; 
 
Assisted Living Bridge Loans 
 
Seniors who need short-term financing to pay for assisted living may qualify for an assisted living bridge loan from <a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elderlife&nbsp;Financial Services</a>. These loans are available for terms up to 12 months and can be funded as either a lump-sum payment or a pre-approved line of credit.&nbsp; 
 
Assisted living bridge loans may be an option for seniors who are selling their home and moving into an assisted living facility, as the funds from the loan can be used to pay for moving costs and monthly fees. Loan applications can be made over the phone, and in most cases applicants receive a response from the lender in less than 24 hours. 
 
Reverse Mortgage 
 
Elderlife&nbsp;Financial also offers government-approved&nbsp;<a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/our-services/#ReverseMortgageInfo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reverse mortgages</a> for&nbsp;homeowners aged 62 and older who are married, and only one spouse needs to move into an assisted living facility.&nbsp; 
 
A reverse mortgage leverages the equity in the home to free up funds that can be used to pay for assisted living and other care services, cover household costs and provide seniors with a source of income. It&rsquo;s important to note that at least one homeowner needs to remain in the home in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage through Elderlife&nbsp;Financial.&nbsp; 
 
For more information about assisted living bridge loans and reverse mortgages, contact <a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/contact-elderlife/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elderlife&nbsp;Financial</a>&nbsp;at (888) 228-4500.&nbsp; 
 
Veterans Aid and Attendance and Housebound Pension Supplement 
 
Veterans and their survivors who are entitled to receive a regular (non-disabled) VA pension may qualify for additional financial payments if they have an illness or disability that restricts their ability to perform self-care or leave their home, which may be an assisted living facility. There are two pension top ups available under this program: the VA Housebound allowance and the Veterans Aid and Attendance benefit.&nbsp; 
 
To qualify for the <a href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/pension/aid_attendance_housebound.asp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">VA Housebound allowance</a>, applicants must be&nbsp;mainly limited to their primary residence as a result of a permanent disability, which doesn&rsquo;t need to be related to their military service.&nbsp; 
 
To qualify for the <a href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/pension/aid_attendance_housebound.asp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">VA Aid and Attendance benefit</a>, applicants must meet one or more of the following criteria:&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Require daily assistance with personal care, feeding or management of a&nbsp;prosthesis</li>
	<li>Have eyesight of 5/200 or worse using corrective lenses for both eyes&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Be mostly bedridden</li>
	<li>Live in a nursing home because of physical and/or mental deterioration</li>
	 
	 
	 
	&nbsp;
	<li>Note that approval may only be granted for one of these two pensions, even if applicants meet the criteria for both the VA Aid and Attendance benefit and the VA Housebound allowance.&nbsp; 
	 
	To learn more about these pension top up benefits for Veterans and their survivors, contact the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.va.gov/directory/guide/facility.asp?ID=552" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Miami Vet Center</a> at (305) 718-3712.&nbsp;</li>

Medicaid is a&nbsp;nationwide health&nbsp;insurance program that is jointly funded by the federal and state governments. It provides access to&nbsp;limited health services for people who have low income and&nbsp;few countable assets.&nbsp; 
 
To be eligible for <a href="http://www.dcf.state.fl.us/service-programs/access/medicaid.shtml" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medicaid coverage</a>, seniors in Florida need to have a monthly income under $2,313 for an individual or $4,626 for a couple applying together. Countable asset limits are currently set at $2,000 per individual and $3,000 per couple, and assets include cash, bank account balances, stocks, bonds and real estate other than the applicant&rsquo;s primary residence.&nbsp;

Florida residents aged 65 and older who meet the financial requirements to qualify for Medicaid, may be eligible for partial assisted living funding through the Florida Statewide<a href="http://elderaffairs.state.fl.us/doea/smmcltc.php" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;</a>Medicaid Managed Care, <a href="http://elderaffairs.state.fl.us/doea/smmcltc.php" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Long-Term Care Program </a>(SMMC LTC). This program is designed to help reduce the rate of nursing home placement in the state by providing care assistance in a senior&rsquo;s home, the community or in an assisted living facility.&nbsp; 
 
Note that benefits provided through the SMMC&nbsp;LTC&nbsp;program cannot be used to finance the room and board portion of assisted living; however, these benefits can be used to finance care services in an assisted living environment.&nbsp;
