When comparing the cost of senior care, it’s important to understand that each option involves different types of care services. In Tarpon Springs, nursing home care prices are more than double in-home care and assisted living because nursing homes offer around-the-clock skilled nursing for seniors who often have complex medical needs. Based on 44 hours of service weekly, homemaker services and home health aides cost more than assisted living, but in-home care doesn’t include home expenses, including utilities, rent/mortgage, groceries and grounds maintenance. Adult day health services are the least expensive option because this type of care is the least involved and it’s provided in a communal setting on weekdays only.

Medicaid is the national health coverage program that provides basic health care to low-income Americans. It’s jointly funded by state and federal governments, and in Florida, approximately 64% of all Medicaid expenditures go towards services for the elderly and disabled.
The Florida Medicaid program is administered by the Agency for Health Care Administration. Seniors aged 65 and older who want to enroll in Medicaid must meet specific criteria that limits income and asset ownership.
Individual seniors can earn no more than three times (300%) the current federal poverty level, or $2,313 per month ($4,626 per couple). Income from all sources is considered, including wages, pension and alimony payments and income from investments and real estate rentals.
Applicants may own up to $2,000 ($3,000 per couple) in countable assets, including cash, bank account balances, property, stocks and bonds. Some assets are exempt, such as one vehicle owned by the applicant, personal effects and a home that’s the principal residence of the applicant valued at no more than $585,000.
Note: As an income cap state, Florida doesn’t provide the option to spend down excess income in order to reach Medicaid eligibility levels.
Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program
Seniors who qualify for Medicaid coverage and require a nursing home level of care may be eligible for enhanced support services delivered within an assisted living setting through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program.
This Medicaid waiver delays or prevents nursing home placement among seniors by providing medically necessary services and items, which may include:
Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly
Seniors aged 55 and older in Tarpon Springs who qualify for Medicare and/or Medicaid and need the type of care normally provided in a nursing home may be eligible for enrollment in the Pinellas County Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly. Seniors can also enroll in PACE on a private-pay basis.
PACE helps seniors in their homes or an assisted living setting by providing comprehensive, individualized services designed to promote safety and independence. PACE services are delivered by an integrated network of medical professionals, therapists and caregivers.
Participation in PACE is voluntary, and once enrolled, seniors must receive all of their health care services through their PACE provider or an authorized PACE affiliate. PACE participants can leave the program by providing 30 days notice to the provider.
The following services are included with PACE:
The Tarpon Springs Recreation Division offers a number of programs and classes geared towards seniors, including weekly duplicate bridge and mahjong games, chair yoga, tai chi and Swedish weaving. These classes and groups are held at the Tarpon Springs Community Center, an ADA-accessible recreation center.
The Tarpon Springs Public Library also hosts a number of special events for seniors, including senior game day, a biweekly coffee social hour for seniors and afternoon movie screenings.
