The median cost of assisted living in Florida is $5,610 a month ($67,320 a year), below the national median of $6,200. That’s CareScout’s 2025 survey, collected July to November 2025. Memory care usually costs more than assisted living, because of extra staffing and a secured setting, so treat the assisted living median as a floor.
Medicare does not pay for memory care. People pay from savings and income, long-term care insurance, or VA Aid and Attendance (up to $29,093 a year for a veteran in 2026), and some qualify for Medicaid help with care costs at communities that accept it. Who actually pays for long-term care.

The median cost of assisted living in Florida is $5,610 a month (CareScout 2025), compared with $6,200 nationally. Memory care usually costs more than assisted living. Prices vary with the room, the level of care and the community, so ask each one for its current rate sheet, or ask a Lilisity advisor for current prices.
Medicaid doesn't pay rent or meals in memory care. Most states offer a Medicaid waiver or program that can pay for care services at participating communities for people who qualify; not every community takes it, so ask each one. Florida's Medicaid agency or your local Area Agency on Aging can tell you what's available.
Florida publishes its licensing records at quality.healthfinder.fl.gov. You can also ask any community for its most recent state inspection report.
This page lists communities Florida's licensing records flag for dementia or memory care. Many assisted living communities also offer secured memory care without a separate license flag, so the assisted living list is worth checking too.
