Medicaid Long-Term Care
Understanding Medicaid Long-Term Care in Florida
Navigating Medicaid can feel overwhelming. We're here to help you understand your options and connect you with the in-home care your loved one deserves.
What Is Medicaid Long-Term Care?
Medicaid Long-Term Care (LTC) is a Florida state and federally funded program that helps eligible seniors and adults with disabilities pay for long-term care services — including in-home personal care, homemaker services, and companion care.
Unlike regular Medicaid, the Long-Term Care program is specifically designed to support people who need ongoing help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and mobility.
Trusted Care Staffing Services works with clients enrolled in Florida's Medicaid LTC program, helping them access quality in-home care without the burden of out-of-pocket costs.
Who Is Eligible?
To qualify for Florida Medicaid Long-Term Care, applicants generally must meet the following criteria:
Age or Disability
Must be 18 or older with a disability, or 65 years of age or older.
Florida Residency
Must be a Florida resident and a U.S. citizen or qualified immigrant.
Financial Eligibility
Income and asset limits apply. A Medicaid planner can help you understand what counts.
Level of Care Need
Must require a nursing facility level of care — meaning help with daily activities.
Note: Eligibility rules can be complex. We recommend speaking with a Medicaid planning specialist or your local SHINE counselor for personalized guidance.
