Most commercial or private Senior Living sites don’t like to indicate whether an assisted living facility will accept or work with Medicaid.   The simple reason is that Medicaid residents aren’t quite as profitable as private pay residents.

So, finding facilities that accept Medicaid or Medicaid-related programs can be a challenge.

There is a very easy, and very trustworthy way that you can learn about ALL assisted living facilities in Jacksonville, Florida, including identifying those that work with Medicaid, Medicaid Waiver programs, Long-Term Care insurance, VA assistance, and more.
