Almost all of your local Medicaid programs will cover some of the assisted living costs for their eligible members. However, similar to Medicare, Medicaid does not pay for the cost of living in an assisted living community (rent). For qualified seniors, Medicaid does pay for these assisted living services: Nursing care (Levels of Care).
In Florida, they cover Assisted Living through the Statewide Managed Medicaid Care – Long Term Care
