Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Bradenton
There are several ways for low-income seniors to find assistance in Bradenton. Seniors who receive Federal SSI benefits can take advantage of Florida's optional state supplementation, and the state allows families to supplement benefits if they don't give the money to the resident but pay the provider directly.
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.
