Does Medicaid cover ccrc in Fort Lauderdale?

Florida Medicaid does not directly pay for room and board in ccrc settings, but Florida's Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC LTC) program covers personal care, attendant care, and in-home/community-based services can offset much of the care portion for eligible residents. Eligibility is income- and asset-based. Our advisors can walk you through what your parent qualifies for and which Fort Lauderdale facilities accept the waiver.

How do I know if a ccrc facility in Fort Lauderdale is licensed?

Every legal ccrc provider in Fort Lauderdale is licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). You can look up any facility's license, inspections, complaints, and regulatory actions directly on FloridaHealthFinder (quality.healthfinder.fl.gov). We only refer families to facilities with active, clean licenses.

What's the difference between ccrc and a nursing home?

Ccrc is for older adults who need help with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication reminders) but don't require 24/7 skilled medical care. Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs) provide ongoing medical care from licensed nurses for residents with serious medical conditions or post-hospital recovery needs. Many Fort Lauderdale families start with ccrc and transition to skilled nursing if care needs increase.

How fast can I move my parent into ccrc in Fort Lauderdale?

Most Fort Lauderdale facilities can accept a new resident within 3–10 days, assuming the health assessment, financial paperwork, and physician's order are complete. Memory care can sometimes be same-day or next-day if a secured unit has availability. Call us at (855) 683-8606 for current openings in your preferred neighborhood.
