10 Best Nursing Homes in Orlando, FL

Answer a few questions to get personalized results

Who are you searching for?

Orlando, Florida, was nicknamed “The City Beautiful” in 1908, and the motto is still proudly displayed on the city’s official seal. Beauty aside, there are many things about Orlando that make it appealing for seniors. There are activities to enjoy outside, along with several dining and entertainment options. The weather is warm year-round, and the city offers numerous senior living options to fit the needs of your loved one.

The term nursing home is often informally used as a blanket term to describe all senior care facilities, including assisted living and memory care. However, Orlando’s nursing homes provide care for seniors who require 24-hour supervision and skilled nursing care. They may not always be the best care option for a relatively healthy senior. For seniors seeking community-style living and nonmedical care support, consider Orlando’s assisted living or memory care facilities. These facilities provide personal care and an abundance of convenient services to make your loved one’s life easier.

A Place for Mom does not partner with nursing homes, but we do partner with assisted living and memory care facilities in Orlando. In this guide, you’ll find everything you need to know about Orlando’s senior care facilities, including costs and how to pay. We also provide an overview of Florida’s regulations, health care options, and what it’s like for seniors to live in Orlando.

Location was a big factor. Also, we know it had the best reviews. We were satisfied with it when we toured. We don't think any place else would be better necessarily and still feel that way.The quality of food is fine. I feel like they are short on staff.

5 / 5.0

The therapists are good. I feel at home here. The nurses and staff are very friendly and the meals are good.

Cost of nursing homes in the Orlando area

The median cost of a skilled nursing home in Orlando is $10,159 per month, according to Genworth data.[02] While Orlando’s costs are slightly higher than the $9,000 national median, nursing homes are generally more expensive than other care types. This is due primarily to the 24-hour medical supervision and specialized care services provided by medically trained staff at nursing homes.
Skilled nursing home costs typically provide an array of medical care services, including the following:

  • Skilled nursing care, like wound care, administration of medication, and monitoring vital signs
  • Around-the-clock medical supervision
  • Three meals per day and snacks
  • A private or semi-private room
  • Rehabilitation services such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy

 

Assisted living and memory care costs in Orlando

Assisted living and memory care facilities are less expensive than nursing homes. In Orlando, the median cost of assisted living is $5,375 per month for a private one bedroom apartment. The monthly median price for similar accommodations in a memory care community will cost $5,100, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.[01] However, unlike nursing homes, they don’t include skilled nursing care services.

Assisted living facilities may be a good fit for seniors who need some assistance with personal care but don’t require 24-hour medical supervision. Memory care communities also don’t provide round-the-clock medical care, but they do offer 24-hour security and supervision to support seniors living with memory loss.

The following section provides an overview of some of the most common private and public pay methods used by families to cover the costs of a nursing home or other senior care facilities.

Paying privately in Orlando

Drawing from a variety of private pay methods enables many families to cover the costs of long-term senior care. Retirement savings, pensions, and Social Security benefits are common private pay methods. Families also use other ways to pay for care, including the following:

VA benefits for nursing homes in Orlando
15016

Number of veterans who live in Orlando according to the U.S. Census Bureau

About 18% of Orlando veterans are 75+

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a key resource for many seniors who served in the U.S. military. VA benefits such the VA Pension and the Aid and Attendance benefit may offer qualified elderly veterans and their surviving spouses assistance with living and health care costs. This may include room and board fees and health care costs for veterans who live in nursing homes, assisted living, and memory care facilities.

Navigating VA benefits

Located just south of downtown, the Orlando VA Medical Center offers several health services focused on the needs of seniors. They can also provide support for disabled seniors or spouses completing VA benefits applications.
The Florida Department of Veterans Affairs, or FDVA, offers a variety of benefit assistance programs such as financial and housing assistance, mental health services, and VA benefit advocacy. Given the sometimes complex application process for VA benefits, advocacy — or benefits counseling, as it’s also known — can be particularly helpful. The FDVA also works with several veterans service organizations (VSOs) in the Orlando area to provide help with accessing VA benefits.

What are VSOs and how do they provide assistance?

Typically vetted by the VA, VSOs assist veterans with benefits counseling and other veteran-centered programs. These organizations are specifically veteran-focused and can operate at the local, state, and national levels. There are several local and national VSOs listed in the resources list below. Examples of common VSOs include:

• American Legion
• Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)
• Disabled American Veterans (DAV)
• National Association for Black Veterans (NABVETS)
• Vietnam Veterans of America

 

VSOs offer the expertise of veteran service officers trained and accredited by the VA to provide assistance and veteran-focused information. Because applying for veterans benefits can be complicated, veteran service officers are vital to guide veterans through the application process. This invaluable service can help your loved one make the most of their eligibility. Veteran service officers help applicants avoid application errors or missed deadlines that can result in delays or a denial of benefits.
Many of the VSO offices in Orlando are located at the Orange County Veteran Services Office and are listed in the resources section below.

Florida State Veterans’ Nursing Home

Operated by the Florida Department of Veteran’s Affairs in Orlando, the Alwyn C. Cashe State Veterans’ Nursing Home offers skilled nursing and memory care to eligible veterans. Residents of the home have access to several services and amenities including:

• Social and recreational activities
• Specially prepared meals
• Medication and pain management

To be eligible, elderly veterans must have received an honorable discharge, be a Florida resident, and require skilled nursing care.

Orlando Medicaid for nursing homes

 

Florida Medicaid is a health insurance program that provides health coverage for residents with low incomes. Medicaid is co-funded by the federal government and individual states. States are responsible for determining eligibility (within federal guidelines) and managing programs. The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) administers Medicaid, which may cover some senior care expenses for qualifying Florida seniors.

How to qualify for Florida’s Medicaid program

Florida Medicaid applicants must be state residents and 65+ to be eligible. Applicants must also require health care services and earn less than $19,392 per year before taxes. Income limits are updated on an annual basis.[04]

What Medicaid plans are available for Florida seniors?

Seniors enrolled in Florida Medicaid can participate in one of these two plans:

  • The Managed Medical Assistance (MMA) plan covers basic health care needs, like hospital visits, prescription medications, vaccinations, and inpatient care.[05] This is an entitlement program, which means there are no waitlists. Qualified individuals can begin receiving services immediately.
  • The Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC LTC) plan covers nursing home stays for seniors who don’t have insurance, are 65+, require skilled nursing care, and already reside in a Medicaid-certified nursing home. In addition to general health care services, this plan can pay for several long-term care services like assistance with daily activities, medical equipment, and intermittent skilled nursing care.

 

Medicaid for assisted living and memory care

If assisted living or memory care is a more suitable option for your loved one, they may still qualify for the SMMC LTC plan. The plan will not pay for room and board fees in assisted living or memory care facilities, but it may cover certain long-term care services, including:[06]

  • Assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and eating
  • Care coordination and case management
  • Medical equipment

 

To better understand your loved one’s Medicaid eligibility, it’s recommended you seek assistance from an elder law attorney or a community organization. Local organizations like the Florida long-term care ombudsman or the Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders (SHINE) program can provide assistance to senior Medicaid recipients living in nursing homes. We’ve provided the contact information for those programs below.

Medicare nursing home coverage in Orlando

 

Most seniors become eligible for Medicare when they turn 65. The program is run by the federal government and provides health insurance that covers certain medical expenses for seniors. Medicare may cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility or nursing home.

Does Medicare cover nursing home costs?

In general, Medicare covers short-term, medically necessary care services. Short-term usually refers to a stay at a hospital or skilled nursing facility to support the needs of a senior recovering from an illness or injury. Medically necessary care services vary for each person, but they need to be first prescribed by a doctor and then approved by Medicare.

What nursing services does Medicare cover?

Medicare covers short-term stays in Medicare-certified skilled nursing facilities for seniors whose doctor have deemed the care medically necessary. The care services that Medicare covers may include the following:

  •  Room and board fees for a private or semi-private room
  • Personal care, such as assistance with bathing and dressing
  • Occupational, physical, and speech therapy
  • Wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility devices
  • Medication and diagnostic tests

Medicare for assisted living and memory care

Many seniors who live in assisted living and memory care communities benefit from Medicare coverage. It works like many private health insurance policies in that it covers a variety of health care costs, regardless of where someone lives.

Medicare will not cover room and board fees at assisted living or memory care facilities. However, room and board may be covered for a short-term stay in a skilled nursing facility.

How does Medicare work?

Medicare has three different parts, organized by the types of care they cover:[07]

 

  • Part A or hospital insurance pays for skilled nursing facility care, inpatient hospital care, and home health care.
  • Part B or medical insurance pays for outpatient services such as doctor’s visits, x-rays, lab work, and minor procedures.
  • Part D or drug insurance covers medication costs such as vaccines and those prescribed by a doctor.

 

Applying for Medicare

If a senior is already receiving Social Security benefits, they may be automatically enrolled in Medicare. However, some seniors may need to complete a Medicare application on the Social Security website.

If you need help applying for Medicare benefits, there are several resources in Florida.

  • The Medicare website provides information on eligibility and Medicare-covered services.
  • The Serving Heath Insurance Needs of Seniors (or SHINE) program has offices in the Orlando area where community volunteers can provide assistance with the application process.
  • Florida’s long-term care ombudsman program can provide assistance for families who have concerns with the long-term care they are receiving

 

Contact information for these programs can be found in the resource section below.

Are there assistance programs to help pay for Medicare premiums?

 

Medicare Savings Programs can help seniors in the Orlando area pay for their premiums. Income limits are updated annually, but as of 2023, a senior’s monthly income must fall between $1,478 and $2,239 to qualify.[08]

Understand Florida laws and regulations for nursing homes

Nursing homes in Orlando benefit from Florida’s high standards of care. As a result, residents in Florida nursing homes exhibit higher rates of positive health outcomes in several categories, compared to the national average. For example, residents maintained a greater ability to perform self-care tasks — such as mobility and eating — and have fewer incidents of emergency room visits.

 

These outcomes are indicators of the high-quality care residents receive in Florida nursing homes, according to the annual U.S. News and World Report ranking of nursing homes.[09]

 

Who regulates Florida nursing homes?

The Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) licenses and regulates Florida nursing homes through their Long Term Care Services Unit. The AHCA conducts unannounced evaluations of nursing homes every 15 months. Surveyors review previous inspection reports and ensure nursing facilities stick to regulations like the following:[10]

  • A resident has a right to privacy and a right to make decisions related to their care.
  • There should be clear communication between the facility administrators and residents.
  • A care plan must be developed within seven days of a resident’s initial assessment.
  • Residents should be allowed to choose their own physician and health care services.
  • Building facilities must be maintained to current building codes and regulations.

 

Surveyors also review facility documents to make sure residents are receiving the state’s minimum hourly care requirements from nursing home staff:

  • A minimum of 25 hours of care per week should be provided to each resident.
  • Two hours of care, out of the 25-hour minimum, must be provided by a nursing assistant each week.
  • Two hours of care, out of the 25-hour minimum, must be provided by a licensed nurse each week.

 

Inspection results for nursing homes in Orlando

You can find inspection results for Orlando nursing homes using the website FloridaHealthFinder.gov. Included in the listings are location, contact information, history, and all inspection results. To find information for specific facilities, follow these search tips:

  • Click the “Locate a Facility or Provider” button.
  • Select “Search by Facility Type/Location” button.
  • Then, in the “Facility/Provider Type” drop down menu, choose “Nursing Home.”
  • Enter the assisted living facility’s name, address, city, or other criteria, and click the “Search” button.
  • Click on the facility name to go to information page.
  • For more details, click on “Inspection Reports” or “Inspection Details” hyperlink.

 

Federal regulations

In addition to state regulations, nursing homes that are Medicare- or Medicaid-certified are also regulated by the federal government. ACHA surveyors are also responsible for ensuring nursing homes adhere to the federal guidelines set forth by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Federal regulations are illustrated in the Code of Federal Regulations and include the following:

  • Facilities must have a designated medical director.
  • Facilities must provide care and services that help residents attain or maintain well-being.
  • Facilities must conduct periodic assessments of resident’s physical and mental abilities.
  • Facilities must create and maintain an emergency preparedness training program.
  • Resident rooms must be equipped for nursing care, comfort, and privacy.

Features of nursing homes in Orlando

Florida’s nursing homes are held to high standards by state regulations, which results in quality care and better health among residents. Examples of quality care in Florida nursing homes is illustrated by the lower rates of falls and emergency room visits, as well as a higher rate of self-care among residents. In addition to excellent care, Orlando’s centralized location, great weather, and easy access to fun activities create a desirable place to live for seniors.

 

What skilled nursing care services are provided in Orlando nursing homes?

Nursing homes provide care for seniors who need round-the-clock attention and specialized medical care. Some examples of the nursing care services your loved one can access on-site in a nursing home may include:

  • Assistance with daily activities, such as eating and bathing
  • Specialized therapies, like pulmonary rehabilitation or physical therapy
  • Around-the clock access to medical professionals
  • Wound care
  • Cardiac care
  • Diabetic care
  • Catheter or colostomy care
  • Medication management and administration

 

Nursing home care is comprehensive and is not necessary for all seniors, especially if it’s not recommended by a doctor. Most assisted living and memory care facilities don’t provide 24/7 nursing care, so they’re substantially more cost-effective. Assisted living may be a better option for more independent seniors who need nonmedical care support and have a desire to live in a community-like setting. While assisted living may not provide 24/7 nursing care, these facilities can provide an array of personal care and other supportive services.

 

Orlando senior care options

General senior care facilities — like assisted living and memory care — in Orlando often offer multiple levels of care in one community. For example, a community may have access to independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing wings all on one large campus. This allows residents to continue to live in a familiar community, even as their care needs change. A Place for Mom doesn’t partner with Medicaid-approved nursing homes, but we do partner with senior care communities like these that offer access to multiple care types and services.

 

Daily living in Orlando’s senior care facilities

Community living is what Orlando’s senior care facilities are all about. Most facilities provide a variety of on-site social activities, ranging from frequent parties and celebrations to games and clubs. Book clubs are popular, and so is trivia.

 

Activity schedules are designed to keep residents active and entertained. Some communities even have garden clubs for residents who like to put their green thumb to good use. There are also several ways to stay in shape, with group exercise classes like tai chi and water aerobics.

 

While Orlando’s median age is 36, those 60 and older carve out a substantial 16% of the population.[11] Over 50% of our partner communities take advantage of the variety of activities available to seniors across the Orlando area, with planned off-site activities.[01] For instance, our partner communities often plan exciting day trips, providing residents opportunities to have meaningful experiences outside the comforts of home.

Transportation for seniors in Orlando

Most Orlando residents use a car as their primary mode of transportation. That said, nearly 75% of A Place for Mom’s partner communities in Orlando offer parking for seniors with cars and their visiting family members.

However, seniors who no longer drive also have some options for getting around. Most of our partner assisted living and memory care communities provide on-site transportation services to residents, the safest and most convenient option for seniors. Residents typically use community transportation services for short trips, such as attending a doctor’s appointment or participating in a group outing.

Lynx is Orlando’s public transportation system and seniors may qualify for reduced fares through the AdvantAge Fare Program for Seniors. Lynx buses are most convenient near Orlando’s city center, but they also serve many of its suburbs. While all Lynx buses are equipped to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges, it’s recommended that seniors use public transportation with caution. Lynx route maps can be used to plan trips and view bus schedules ahead of time.
