Most families combine sources over time: private savings and Social Security first, then long-term-care insurance if it's in place, VA Aid & Attendance for eligible veterans and surviving spouses, and Florida's SMMC LTC Medicaid program, which can cover care services (not room and board) for those who meet the income and asset tests.

Verify any community's license and inspection record on Florida Health Finder (floridahealthfinder.gov) before you commit — it's the one statewide database that covers every facility in St. Johns County.

CCRCs: what you're actually buying

A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) spans independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing on one campus, so a resident can age in place as needs change.

The assisted living and skilled nursing portions are AHCA-licensed (FS Ch. 429 and Ch. 400), and CCRC contracts are regulated separately by the state. A typical monthly range is $3,000 to $6,500 a month plus a significant entrance fee.

The details that matter most rarely show up in the brochure:

  • the entrance-fee refund terms (Type A, B, or C contract)
  • the financial health of the operator and its reserves
  • guaranteed access to higher levels of care and at what price

Does Medicaid cover ccrc in St. Augustine (32080)?
Medicaid does not directly pay for room and board in ccrc settings, but Florida's Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC LTC) program covers personal care, attendant care, and in-home/community-based services, which can offset much of the care portion for eligible residents. Eligibility is income- and asset-based. Our advisors can walk you through what your parent qualifies for and which St. Augustine (32080) facilities accept the plan.
How do I know if a ccrc facility in St. Augustine (32080) is licensed?
Every legal ccrc provider in St. Augustine (32080) is licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), Bureau of Health Facility Regulation, under Florida Statutes Chapter 429, Part I and Rule 59A-36. You can look up any facility's license, inspections, complaints, and regulatory actions directly at floridahealthfinder.gov. We only refer families to facilities with active, clean licenses.
What's the difference between ccrc and a nursing home?
Ccrc is for older adults who need help with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication reminders) but don't require 24/7 skilled medical care. Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs) provide ongoing medical care from licensed nurses for residents with serious medical conditions or post-hospital recovery needs. Many St. Augustine (32080) families start with ccrc and transition to skilled nursing if care needs increase.
How fast can I move my parent into ccrc in St. Augustine (32080)?
Most St. Augustine (32080) facilities can accept a new resident within 3–10 days, assuming the health assessment, financial paperwork, and physician's order are complete. Memory care can sometimes be same-day or next-day if a secured unit has availability.
