How to Qualify for Long-Term Care in Florida (2025 Guide)

Are you caring for a loved one who’s struggling to live safely at home?

Florida’s Medicaid Long-Term Care (LTC) program may help — and many families don’t realize they qualify. This guide walks you through everything you need to know to get support for home care services.

What is Medicaid Long-Term Care (LTC)?

It’s a Florida program that helps seniors and adults with disabilities receive care at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing facility — at little to no cost.

Who Qualifies?

• Age: 65+ or 18+ with a disability

• Income limit: Around $2,829/month (2025 est.)

• Assets limit: Around $2,000 for individuals

• Health needs: Must require assistance with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, eating, or medication

How to Apply:

1. Call the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) at 866-684-5885 to complete a screening.

2. Wait for a priority score (higher scores get help faster).

3. Once approved, choose a managed care plan (like Simply, Humana, etc.).

4. Work with a care manager to select services — that’s where we come in!
