Financial Benefits & Resources

Senior Crossroads recognizes that the cost of ongoing care can be expensive. All of our clients receive a financial assessment. This allows us to be sure they access any and all benefits to which they are entitled to help offset some of these costs. Our geriatric care managers have the expertise to recognize entitlements and solutions. A financial assessment is a means of collecting household income information which is used to determine:

  • Your eligibility for enrollment
  • Your qualification for financial benefits
  • What out of pocket expenses may you have to pay
  • What will be covered by the benefit
  • What will not be covered

Medicaid Eligibility in Florida

To be eligible for Medicaid, individuals must also meet certain non-financial eligibility criteria. Medicaid beneficiaries must generally be residents of the state in which they are receiving Medicaid. They must either be citizens of the United States or qualified non-citizens, such as lawful permanent residents. In addition, some eligibility groups are limited by age, or by pregnancy or parenting status. States have the option to establish a “medically needy program” for individuals with significant health needs whose income is too high to otherwise qualify for Medicaid under other eligibility groups. Medically needy individuals can still become eligible by “spending down” the amount of income that is above a particular state’s medically needy income standard. Individuals spend down by incurring expenses for medical and remedial care for which they do not have health insurance. Once an individual’s incurred expenses exceed the difference between the individual’s income and the state’s medically needy income level (the “spenddown” amount), the person can be eligible for Medicaid. The Medicaid program then pays the cost of services that exceed what the individual had to incur in the way of expenses in order to become eligible.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

Thank you so much for your impeccable professional services and warmth and wisdom. My parents have made a wonderful transition to assisted living, accomplished without any crises, and your advice and involvement are what made it possible for me to accomplish this substantial change in their situation with little drama and such a good outcome. Thank you. Wishing you continued success.

What can I say? I have waited a while to gather my thoughts and still I am not sure how to put into words how grateful we are for the many ways in which you have been a blessing to us. There is no way I could ever begin to list the many kindnesses you have shown. Your professional competence is amazing. In a world in which too many people promise too much, and then deliver too little, you serve as a role model for all of us.

What can I say about Denise? She is my Guardian Angel, without her I would be stumbling. She has enhanced my life for the better, not to mention my brother's. Her outstanding care, compassion and attention to detail fulfill all our needs and wants. God bless her, and thank-you for being my Angel.

Denise is extremely kind and knowledgable. She genuinely cares about Mom, and the entire family. She goes out of her way to provide my mother with all things necessary to ensure her a happy, active life. She seems to have an abundance of great resources. I look forward to seeing Denise each month. Her compassion and sense of humor make our visits very pleasant. Her expertise in the field of Eldercare allows my mother to enjoy a comfortable, quality life.

As we near the end of our almost ten-year relationship keeping watch over my father, I want to tell you how much I appreciate your service and your team. I can't say enough good things about Nancy and her professionalism and thoughtfulness. I at all times had confidence in your organization ensuring Irv's welfare throughout this difficult but all too common situation. It's a difficult but critically needed business you are in and you are to be commended.
