How to Pay for Assisted Living in Tampa
To promote access to financially viable care, assisted living communities in Tampa typically accept payment from state-funded programs, VA benefit programs and private income and savings.
- Medicaid: Florida's Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program pays for services qualified seniors receive in Tampa’s assisted living communities. While this program doesn’t pay for room and board, it has coverage for personal care assistance, medication oversight and housekeeping.
- Medicare: Like most health insurance programs, Medicare doesn’t pay for nonmedical care, which accounts for most assisted living services. However, its coverage for medically necessary services such as rehabilitative therapies and skilled nursing can reduce overall monthly care expenses for some residents.
- VA Benefits: Veterans who qualify for the VA Health Care for Elderly Veterans program may pay for assisted living through the Geriatrics and Extended Care program. Additionally, those who meet service-related and functional criteria may receive an increased pension through Aid and Attendance, which can help them pay for care.
- Private payments: Seniors who don’t qualify for state or veterans’ benefits use their own income and assets to pay for assisted living. Some private payment options include Social Security benefits, retirement savings and proceeds from home sales.
Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Tampa
Florida provides two state programs to help eligible seniors with the cost of services at assisted living facilities: Medicaid Long-Term Care and Assistive Care Services. The state also offers optional state supplementation (OSS) for residents who receive social security income.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Florida page.
