Paying with Medicaid and other programsHow Medicaid pays for care in Florida, and other programs
How Medicaid pays for care in Florida
- Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC) Long-Term Care (LTC) program. Florida Medicaid's Long-Term Care program lists assisted living services as a covered service. There is a wait list, and people are released from it by priority score, not by how long they have waited. (state page)
- Waitlist. The Long-Term Care program has a wait list. People are released by priority score and frailty, not by time on the list. (source)
Ask the community whether it accepts Medicaid.

How Lilisity works. The only scores or rankings Lilisity publishes are the Top Communities list and the Excellence Awards, both built from phone-verified resident and family interviews. Communities can pay Lilisity a flat monthly fee to manage their own listing: photos, prices, contact details, and receiving the inquiries families choose to send them. The fee is the same no matter how many families contact them or move in. Senior Living Alliance, which runs Lilisity, offers the same listing to its member communities as part of their membership; members pay SLA for its resident and family interview program. No community pays Lilisity per inquiry, per referral or per move-in. Payment never changes a testimonial, a rating, or the order of search results. The "Nearby Senior Living Alliance communities" box shows member communities only. How we verify testimonials · How we are paid
