What to Consider About Assisted Living in Winter Garden
Winter Garden has four assisted living facilities within the city borders and an additional 58 in neighboring cities, including Orlando, Ocoee and Clermont. Assisted living licensure is handled by the Florida Bureau of Health Facility Regulation, and Winter Garden has several types of communities.
All assisted living facilities provide resident meals, and those with a standard license offer basic personal-care services for reasonably independent seniors. Some communities have specialty licenses for limited nursing services (LNS) and extended congregate care (ECC) for residents who need more significant help with daily activities like bathing and mobility. Those with mental or physical conditions that require more supervision, care or medication administration should look for LNS and ECC homes.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Winter Garden
There are a few ways for low-income seniors to find help with long-term care costs. The state provides an optional state supplement to seniors who receive Federal SSI benefits and also allows family supplementation without affecting Medicaid eligibility.
Florida has two programs, Assistive Care Services and Medicaid Long-Term Care, that can cover the costs of services at assisted living facilities. Eligible seniors are still responsible for room and board, but the MLTC plan negotiates those rates on behalf of participants.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Florida page.
