Navigate Florida's Medicaid Long-Term Care Application with Confidence

Applying for Medicaid long-term care coverage shouldn't feel overwhelming. Our team guides families through every step — from eligibility screening to approval — so your loved one gets the assisted living care they deserve.

Florida's Medicaid LTC Application Is Notoriously Difficult

Over 40% of initial applications are delayed or denied due to preventable errors. You don't have to go through it alone.

📄

Complex Documentation

Florida requires extensive financial, medical, and legal documentation — a single missing page can delay your case by weeks or trigger a denial.

⚠️

Strict Eligibility Rules

Income limits, asset thresholds, and the "look-back" period create traps that catch unprepared applicants. One misstep can reset the entire process.

Months of Waiting

Without expert handling, applications can languish for months. Meanwhile, families bear the full cost of assisted living out of pocket — often $3,000 to $6,000+ per month.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who qualifies for Medicaid long-term care in Florida?
Florida Medicaid LTC eligibility is based on medical need (requiring an assisted living or nursing home level of care) and financial criteria. In general, the applicant must have limited monthly income and countable assets below state thresholds. Married couples have additional protections. We'll assess your specific situation during the free consultation.
How long does the Medicaid LTC application process take?
The standard processing time by Florida DCF is 45 days from a complete application, though complex cases can take longer. Many delays happen because applications are submitted incomplete. Our meticulous preparation helps avoid these common setbacks.
What is the Medicaid "look-back" period?
Florida reviews financial transactions from the 60 months (5 years) prior to the application date. Any gifts, transfers, or sales below fair market value during this period can trigger a penalty period of ineligibility. Understanding and navigating this rule is one of the most critical parts of the process.
What does the CARES assessment involve?
The CARES (Comprehensive Assessment and Review for Long-Term Care Services) assessment is a face-to-face evaluation conducted by the state to determine if the applicant meets the medical necessity criteria for long-term care. We help prepare your loved one and their caregivers so there are no surprises.
Can Medicaid cover assisted living facilities in Florida?
Yes. Through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC LTC) program, Florida Medicaid can cover care in licensed Assisted Living Facilities. The facility must accept Medicaid and the applicant must meet both financial and medical eligibility requirements.
What if my application was already denied?
A denial is not the end of the road. You have the right to appeal, and many denials are reversed with proper documentation and a correctly presented case. We review the denial letter, identify what went wrong, and build a stronger resubmission or formal appeal.
