## How Florida helps pay

### Florida programs that help seniors pay for care

Medicaid long-term care
Florida's SMMC LTC program covers nursing home care and assisted living for qualifying seniors. Apply through the Elder Helpline 1-800-963-5337.

Where to start
AAASWFL, aaaswfl.org; Elder Helpline 1-800-963-5337

Veterans
VA Aid and Attendance pension for wartime veterans who need help with daily activities.

Medicare
Does not pay for assisted living or long-term care. Covers short rehab stays.

Sources: State agency; Medicare.gov; VA.gov. Rules change; confirm current eligibility.

**If you live far away, you still have options.** Like much of coastal Florida, most Naples families are adult children calling from another state. A care manager who can visit and video-call is a good investment.

## Local resources worth knowing

- **AAASWFL** Area Agency on Aging for Southwest Florida. Free Medicaid screening and caregiver support.
- **FloridaHealthFinder.gov** State database of inspection reports for assisted living and nursing homes.
- **Collier County Senior Services** Transportation, meals, senior centers, and caregiver support.
- **Eldercare Locator, 1-800-677-1116.** The federal government’s free line for aging services anywhere in the country.
- **Adult Protective Services.** To report elder abuse or neglect, call the state APS hotline or 911 if there is immediate danger.

### Still sorting through it?

Ten minutes on the phone is usually enough to make the whole thing feel smaller.

## Questions from Naples families

### Is Naples affordable for senior care?

Naples is among the most expensive senior care markets in Florida. If budget is a concern, look inland or at Fort Myers.

### Are there waiting lists?

At the most popular resort-style communities, yes — especially in season. Many have openings within a few weeks.

### How does seasonal population affect care?

Many communities have higher occupancy from January through April. Staffing ratios can change. Ask about year-round vs. seasonal staffing.
