Anyone personally familiar with any memory care unit(s) -- Medicaid LTC eligible -- in Florida? Please reach out, if so. DM, if you'd like.

(I don't need a list of SNF's with memory care. I've got that. Looking for personal recommendations.)

    It doesn't look like Florida Medicaid funds room & board in a MCF which would explain why you aren't finding any. It also explains why I moved my parents out of the state when dad was diagnosed.

    Actually, that is not true. Medicaid does pay 100% for memory care in a skilled nursing facility (nursing home) and a subsidy in a (very) few ALFs. And, it isn't that I'm not finding places that have Medicaid beds in a SNF-MC, it is that I am asking for: "I don't need a list of SNF's with memory care. I've got that. Looking for personal recommendations."
