Frequently Asked Questions on Assisted Living in Orlando

Is assisted living expenses covered by Medicaid or Medicare?

Medicaid is utilized to cover the costs of care and programs received in an assisted living community but it doesn't take care of the costs of housing.

Traditionally, Medicare cannot be used to handle the expenses at an assisted living facility. Medicare insurance is made to cover temporary stays at medical centers or rehab facilities and prescriptions and drugs that has a start and end date. If you're forced into an assisted living facility because of an incident or health problem, Medicare could take care of your primary fees if they're advised or prescribed by a medical professional.
