Florida Medicaid long-term care

Florida’s Medicaid long-term care program may pay for help at home for people who need a nursing home level of care. The first step is a phone screening by your local Aging and Disability Resource Center. Call the Elder Helpline at 800-963-5337 to be screened. Two state programs, Community Care for the Elderly and Home Care for the Elderly, may also help people 60 and older stay at home, and you reach them the same way.
