Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Bradenton

The state's Medicaid Long-Term Care and Assistive Care Services programs can help eligible seniors pay for services at assisted living facilities, but the plans don't cover room and board.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Florida page.
