Listed on the AARP Age-Friendly Network, Longwood is a welcoming city for seniors and families seeking access to health care services, cultural amenities and warm weather throughout the year. Of the community’s 17,000 residents, nearly a fifth are aged 65 and over, promoting the need for effective long-term care solutions. For these seniors, Longwood offers diverse medical services through Orlando Health South Seminole Hospital, as well as numerous high-quality nursing homes. With nursing home rates starting at $8,060 per month, Longwood is one of the most budget-friendly cities in Florida for this type of care.
Nursing homes are ideal for older adults who need around-the-clock medical support and monitoring. They have licensed medical staff and administer services such as wound care, disease management and rehabilitative therapies. Residents also have access to personal care services and daily meals, and they can participate in recreational activities throughout the week. For seniors who primarily need personal care and only have intermittent or short-term skilled nursing needs, assisted living facilities or home care agencies may provide more appropriate and affordable care.
This guide provides more information on senior care costs in Longwood and highlights resources that serve nursing home residents and their families.

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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.
