Clermont is a city in Lake County that’s 30 minutes west of Orlando. It’s home to about 43,000 people, of whom the 65+ age group make up almost a quarter — which is significantly more than the national average of 16.5%. They are well-served by many medical facilities, such as South Lake Hospital, Clermont Medical and Integrative Medical Center and South Lake Medical Center. There are also plenty of Medicare-registered physicians, ensuring the city’s seniors shouldn’t need to compromise on who provides their medical care.
Clermont’s nursing homes are dotted throughout the city, each offering high-quality medical care in settings more like home than a hospital. According to the 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, families can expect fees in the region of $8,973 per month for a semiprivate room, which is above Florida’s average of $8,669. Fees typically cover care plans designed by physicians and implemented by registered nurses and licensed nurses. Other types of care are available for seniors who don’t need 24-hour support, such as assisted living and home health care.

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
Lake County seniors can access a wealth of resources designed to enhance their quality of life and provide free or low-cost support when they need it. This list includes examples of how seniors and their families can plan for long-term care, get regular visits in their own homes from volunteers who care and access transportation and caregiver support programs.
