According to the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey, the average cost of assisted living in Melbourne is $4,461 per month. While these rates are over $400 higher than the statewide average, Melbourne is still a more affordable option compared to the average U.S. city.
Low-income seniors can turn to Florida’s Medicaid Long-Term Care or Assistive Care Services program for help with the cost of services at assisted living facilities. These programs don’t cover room and board, but the MLTC plan does negotiate fees with the provider.
For further help, residents receiving Federal SSI benefits can apply for optional state supplementation or consider family supplementation, which the state allows.

While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
