Assisted Living in Florida
Florida has one of the largest assisted living markets in the nation, driven by its massive retiree population. The Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) licenses Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) with optional specialty licenses for Extended Congregate Care (ECC), Limited Nursing Services (LNS), and Limited Mental Health (LMH). Florida's Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC LTC) program covers assisted living for eligible residents. The state offers tremendous variety in climate, community style, and price range across its many metro areas.
