Florida Community Care for the Elderly (CCE) targets seniors at risk of nursing home placement and who are not qualified for Medicaid. The goal is to allow qualified seniors who require some medical and personal care to remain living at home or in the community. The program provides a variety of service that include adult day care, respite, home-delivered meals, personal care, consumable medical supplies, emergency alert response, light housekeeping, minor home repair and yard clean-up.
To be eligible, Floridians must be 60+ years old and functionally impaired. There may be financial asset and incomes thresholds as well. However, these will be less restrictive than Medicaid’s limits. There are co-payments for service with fees on a sliding scale. In past years, these fees have been from 1% to 3% of the senior’s income.
You can contact your local Florida Area Agency on Aging to learn more.
