What to Consider About Assisted Living in Plantation

The Bureau of Health Facility Regulation regulates Florida's assisted living facilities. It approves licenses for those satisfying strict criteria relating to building standards, care quality, financial stability and staff recruitment. To ensure licensed facilities uphold standards, the bureau investigates complaints made by residents, their families and third parties and conducts unannounced inspections.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Plantation

  • Plantation's average cost of living index is 116.6, which is above Florida's average of 103.1 and the country's 100. Therefore, seniors may find Plantation costly, although not as expensive as nearby cities, such as Fort Lauderdale (where the average is 118.5). Above-average housing costs distort Plantation's average, so assisted living residents may find the city more affordable. Its health cost index of 99.2 is below Florida's 102.3, so seniors may find medical care to be affordable.
  • Crime statistics for Plantation show the city's property crime rate of 47.4 is above the national average of 35.4. However, violent crime is less common, at 16.3, which is below the U.S. average of 22.7. For perspective, Plantation is significantly safer than nearby Fort Lauderdale, where property and violent crime are far above average.
  • Many seniors relocate to Florida for the sunshine, and Plantation doesn't disappoint. On average, it provides 39 more sunny days per year than the national average, with temperatures typically around 90 degrees in July. January is the coldest month, but even then, temperatures rarely drop below 58 degrees. Rainfall is approximately 65 inches per year, resulting in high levels of humidity that can be stifling in summer. However, it's more comfortable between December and March.
  • Generally, Plantation's environment is healthy, with an average health cost index of 96/100. The water quality index of 50/100 is five points below the average, but the air quality index of 63/100 is five points above. The city also scores 92/100 — five points above the norm — for its work in cleaning contaminated land as part of EPA's Superfund Program. Seniors may also find it easy to access medical care, as Plantation averages 224 physicians per 100,000 people, 14 more than the U.S. average.
  • Seniors are never far from medical care in Plantation. There's Westside Hospital, a 250-bed facility providing a range of services, including emergency care, stroke care and orthopedics. In Tamarac, there's Woodmont Hospital, a 271-bed full-service facility that specializes in cardiology and neurological care. Cleveland Clinic, rated South Florida's #1 hospital is only 20 minutes away.

    The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

    Assisted living's $4,385 median fee compares favorably with the $9,019 typically paid for a semiprivate room in a nursing home, although the latter includes medical care.

Adult day care averages $1,517 but requires daily transfers to and from the center.

      Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Plantation

      Florida has two programs that can help low-income seniors pay for services at an assisted living facility: Assistive Care Services and Medicaid Long-Term Care. Neither cover room and board, but the MLTC plan does negotiate rates on behalf of participants, and the state allows families to contribute without impacting Medicaid eligibility. 

      Florida also provides optional state supplementation (OSS) for seniors who receive Federal SSI payments. 

      Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Florida page.
