How to Pay for Assisted Living in Deerfield Beach:

In Deerfield Beach, assisted living communities accept several forms of payment for housing and services, including a mix of public and private options. This helps older adults pay for services based on their access to financial resources and public benefits.

  • Medicaid: The Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program pays for assisted living services for seniors who meet income and functional criteria. Although this program doesn’t pay for room and board, seniors can use this coverage toward meal services, transportation, medical supplies and personal care services.
  • Medicare: The federal health insurance program for seniors doesn’t pay for standard assisted living services, which aren’t considered medically necessary. However, it pays for third-party skilled nursing services seniors may receive in residential care communities, reducing their overall monthly expense.
  • VA Benefits: Qualified veterans in Deerfield Beach may receive coverage for some assisted living services, including personal care, meals and transportation, through the VA’s Aid and Attendance and Geriatrics and Extended Care programs. According to our proprietary Caring.com database, over 60 assisted living facilities in the region accept veterans benefits.
  • Private Payments: Assisted living facilities accept cash payments for all types of expenses, including housing, personal care and recreation. These payments come from seniors’ retirement income, withdrawals from savings accounts, long-term care insurance and proceeds from home sales.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Deerfield Beach

Eligible seniors can receive financial assistance in paying for ALF costs using the Florida Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program (SMMC LTC). In addition, the state of Florida covers specific services in ALFs with a standard or specialty license under a statewide 1915(b)(c) MLTC program if participants are offered a private room, private apartment or unit that is shared only by consent.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Florida page.

For seniors who need comprehensive medical supervision and skilled services, a semi private room in a nursing home facility costs more, at an average of $9,019 per month.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Deerfield Beach

  • Deerfield Beach experiences hot, humid summers with average daily temperatures near 90 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the weather is pleasant throughout the rest of the year, promoting an active lifestyle for retirees.
  • Annually, Deerfield Beach reports around 1,620 crimes. This represents around two violent offenses and 16 nonviolent infractions per 1,000 people, making it safer than 24% of U.S. communities. Most crime occurs in the city’s central neighborhoods, so prospective assisted living residents may want to consider facilities in and around the Coquina Lakes, Lakeview and Barwal neighborhoods.
  • Florida’s lack of state income tax, as well as its sales tax exemptions for medicine and groceries, make it one of the most retiree-friendly states in the nation.
  • Living costs in Deerfield Beach surge around 16% above the national norm. While this affects access to affordable assisted living, the state’s Medicaid coverage provides financial assistance to residents who qualify.
  • Deerfield Beach falls in the top half of U.S. communities for favorability for seniors, scoring 52 points on the AARP Livability Index compared to the national average city score of 48 points. Several factors positively affect the city’s score, including the large number of homes with zero-step entry, high access to subsidized housing and the availability of ADA-accessible public transportation vehicles and stations.
