Beloved Senior Living has been a God send for my mom. I have never seen a facility with this caliber before. The place so super clean! The food is home cooked and delicious! The staff are so loving and personable with the patients. I am able to reach them at any time of day. Heather, the Administrator is professional and takes a personal interest in each patient to ensure they are clean and well cared for. My mother is always smiling, always clean and comfortable. That is so important to me. I thank God everyday for leading us to this amazing facility!! I sleep well every night because I know my sweet mother is in the best place we could have ever imagined. Blessed beyond measure.

It was pretty large. The person who showed me around was very nice. It was a clean facility. They had yoga classes. The dining area was well lit and large. The residents were out and about, but it wasn't crowded at all.

It was very nice. The person during the tour was also very nice and she covered everything beautifully. The apartment was lovely. The food and the dining area were good. They had a pool and a library. I liked it. The person who served us the meal was lovely. The whole experience was good. If I were interested in moving into a place like that now, that would be it.

We liked it the best. It's secluded and quiet. My wife gave the highest marks to the staff during the tour, but the food was below average personally. The activities were just minimal, probably not really adequate for our needs, but they had an exercise room and there was some equipment.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Palm Bay
Medicaid in Florida
Medicaid is the federally mandated health plan for low-income individuals of all ages. It provides 16% of Florida residents with access to basic health services, including emergency, primary and long-term care, hospital services, X-rays and lab testing, in accordance with federal law. Additional services, such as home and community-based care, may be offered by individual states.
To enroll in Medicaid, applicants need to meet income and asset (resource) criteria. Florida seniors who already receive Social Security Income benefits are automatically eligible for Medicaid, and they only need to complete additional screening if they’re seeking long-term Medicaid services.
All other seniors must earn no more than $2,313 per month ($4,626 per married couple) and own no more than $2,000 in countable assets ($3,000 per couple). Some items, such as personal clothing and jewellery, one vehicle and a home owned and occupied by the applicant and/or their spouse valued at no more than $585,000, are exempt from the Medicaid asset limits.
Spousal Income and Asset Exemptions
When only one spouse needs long-term Medicaid coverage, special rules regarding the income of the non-applicant (community) spouse and the couple’s joint assets apply.
Under the minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance, the community spouse may collect up to $3,161 per month in income transferred from the applicant to pay for shelter costs, and this amount is deducted from the applicant’s declared income.
The community spouse can also keep the lesser of half of the couple’s joint assets or $126,420 under the community spouse resource allowance.
Comprehensive Assessment and Review for Long-Term Care Program
In accordance with federal law Florida, seniors who qualify for long-term Medicaid and require the type of care normally provided in a nursing facility must be screened through the Comprehensive Assessment and Review for Long-Term Care Program before being provided with Medicaid-funded long-term services.
A designated CARES assessor or registered nurse evaluates the current and projected care needs of each senior to determine the most-appropriate placement and Medicaid services.
Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program
A CARES assessment may recommend enrollment in the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program, a nursing home diversion program that funds enhanced home and community-based services to let seniors age in place in an assisted living setting.
SMMC LTC services are administered through a managed health care plan. In Brevard County, the available LTC plans include Aetna, Humana, Sunshine and United. Once participants select an LTC plan, they can change to another available plan within 90 days, after which time participants can switch plans after one year.
Seniors who are enrolled in the SMMC LTC program are provided with services that are medically-necessary to prevent placement in a nursing home. These services may include:
- Skilled and intermittent nursing care
- Homemaker services
- Speech therapy
- Medication administration
- Personal care to assist with bathing, dressing and grooming
- Transportation to medical appointments
- A wearable medical alert device
- Mobility equipment
- Medical supplies
- Adult day health care
- Physical therapy
Participants are also provided with additional benefits that aren’t normally covered under Medicaid, such as over-the-counter medications, dental and vision services, and help transitioning from a nursing facility into an assisted living community.
For more information about Florida Medicaid and the SMMC LTC, contact the Brevard County Elder Helpline at (407) 514-0019 or ACCESS Florida at (866) 762-2237.
Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living
Optional State Supplementation
Supplemental Security Income recipients aged 65 and older who need to reside in an assisted living facility due to loss of physical and/or cognitive abilities can apply for state-sponsored SSI top-up benefits through the Optional State Supplementation program.
The OSS program provides a maximum of $78.40 per person ($156.80 per couple) to help seniors pay the room-and-board portion of their assisted living costs.
To apply for OSS, contact ACCESS Florida, Central Region at 407-317-7000.
Long-Term Care Insurance
Seniors who have long-term care insurance through a private insurance policy may have benefits that include coverage for assisted living costs.
In most cases, policies that include long-term care benefits must be purchased before the beneficiary reaches a certain age or requires senior care services. Benefits vary with each policy and most insurance providers require that policyholders complete a needs assessment performed by a designated assessor.
For more information, seniors can contact their insurance broker or insurance company.
