Paying for Assisted Living in Miami-Dade County
The Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey doesn’t contain senior care cost data for Miami-Dade County, but it does disclose care rates for the Miami area, which contains the county’s principal city of Miami. Based on this data, seniors in Miami-Dade County pay approximately $3,500 per month for assisted living, making it among the most cost-effective options in the state and the nation as a whole. Monthly fees are $200 less per month than the state median of $3,700 and $800 less than the national rate of $4,300.
The Cost of Assisted Living in Nearby Cities
Miami-Dade County may be a good option for seniors seeking affordable senior care, with fees coming in among the lowest in the state at $3,500. The state does contain a few cities with even more economically priced care, including the Tampa area, where assisted living facilities charge approximately $3,225 monthly, and the Sebring area, where fees are $2,895. In Ocala, care costs exceed the state average but are affordable compared to the national rate at $4,000 per month, and in the Sebastian area, assisted living facilities charge $4,500. Panama City is considerably pricier at $5,161. The capital city of Tallahassee is the most expensive Florida city for assisted living, with care fees averaging $5,506 per month.
Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Miami-Dade County
In 2014, the state of Florida replaced all their HCBS waiver programs with the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program (SMMC-LTC), which helps eligible seniors pay for assisted living costs. Florida also has the Optional State Supplement (OSS), a non-Medicaid program available for qualified seniors.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Florida page.
More Ways to Pay for Assisted Living
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
- Veterans Benefits
- Life Insurance Policy
- Long-Term Care Insurance
- Reverse Mortgage
For more information about different ways to finance assisted living, visit our Assisted Living in Florida page.
