Paying for Assisted Living in Estero
Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Estero
In 2014, the state of Florida replaced all their HCBS waiver programs with the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program (SMMC-LTC), which helps eligible seniors pay for assisted living costs. Florida also has the Optional State Supplement (OSS), a non-Medicaid program available for qualified seniors.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Florida page.
