How people pay for independent living in Pensacola
Typically, seniors living in Pensacola independent living communities pay for their monthly rent using private methods like savings, pensions, and Social Security benefits. However, if you are part of a military family, you or your spouse may be eligible to apply for some grant-based programs offered by the Veterans Administration. Plus, although neither Medicaid nor Medicare will directly pay for your leasing fee obligation each month, both federal programs may help you offset your rent by covering other bills.
Below is more information for you on private pay methods, VA benefits, Medicare, and Medicaid. Simply click on each tab to learn more.
Many seniors who relocate to an independent living community depend on personal funds to cover all the costs associated with their monthly rent and any add-on fees. Personal funds may include savings or income streams like Social Security benefits, work-related pension deposits, investment returns, and even recurring VA benefits. Although long-term health care insurance can be good to have for future skilled nursing facility housing needs, it can’t be used for any payments related to independent living.
If you own a home or other property, you might be able to cash out the equity in your real estate through a sale or reverse mortgage. Both processes are explained in the below A Place for Mom articles.
Number of veterans who live in Pensacola
About 46% of Pensacola veterans are 65+
Pensacola and the wider Escambia County region are locations that are very military-friendly thanks to the city’s maritime and aviation history. As a veteran who served in any branch of the United States military — or the spouse of someone who served — you should feel welcomed in this community. You should also consider taking the next steps to find out if you may be eligible to receive some of the benefits available exclusively to veterans. Though these benefits won’t pay directly for your independent living apartment rent, they can be used to either improve your personal savings funds or offset other costs, such as paying for in-home medical care or housing improvements.
The most well-known of veterans benefits is the VA Pension. This Pension isn’t available to all veterans, so you may want to touch base with a veterans services officer to talk more about whether you might meet the eligibility standards.
Another funding stream available to veterans is the Aid and Attendance benefit, which can be added to your VA Pension (if you qualify). If you are approved to receive the Aid and Attendance benefit, you can use the extra money to put toward rent or other costs of living. Even if your VA Pension or Aid and Attendance benefit doesn’t add up to your monthly rent, it can lower your immediate costs and enable you to afford your preferred retirement lifestyle in Pensacola.
There are other types of financial assistance available to you or your spouse (if applicable) as a veteran. For example, if you served overseas, you may meet the eligibility requirements for a financial grant from the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW).
Because navigating veterans’ benefits can be challenging and confusing at times, avail yourself of all the resources and people who can help you. These include the Florida Department of Veterans Affairs (FDVA), the Florida Department of Elder Affairs, and representatives of local veterans services organizations (VSOs).

Seniors who are age 65 and older who meet federal household low-income requirements may be eligible to apply for Medicaid. Though Medicaid is not designed to pay for rent in independent living communities, it can help alleviate financial insecurity related to the costs of short-term medical care.
The Agency for Health Care Administration is in charge of Florida Medicaid. You’ll need to fill out and submit a Medicaid application to be considered. Be advised that Medicaid approval or denial can take a long time. In the interim, you’ll want to make sure you can cover your housing costs with other payment resources such as private funds or veterans benefits.
If you receive notice that you are eligible for Medicaid benefits, look into getting a home and community based services (HCBS) waiver, sometimes called a 1915(c) waiver. This waiver is meant to be used for in-home health care that a doctor says is needed.
If you need help navigating the process of applying, contact the Northwest Florida Area Agency On Aging, Inc., which offers SHINE (Serving the Health Insurance Needs of Elders). You can meet with benefits counselors at no cost who can help discuss your potential options. The long-term care ombudsman for the Pensacola region can also help.

As with Medicaid, Medicare is a federally-funded program meant to take the place of private insurance for people when they turn 65. Medicare covers short-term medical costs, such as your visits to your primary care physician or rehab after a knee replacement surgery. Medicare won’t pay your independent living facility rent, but it can take some of the financial burdens off you for some ongoing medical treatments.
To ensure you’re taking advantage of all the Medicare options available in Pensacola, consider making an appointment with a long-term care ombudsman. Or, simply call the Pensacola Social Security Administration Office, the Aging & Adult Service office at the Florida Department of Elder Affairs, or the State Health Insurance Assistance Program, which is called Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders (SHINE) in the state of Florida.
As a side note, you can often customize your Medicare benefits by tapping into other savings. For instance, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration offers added Medicare Savings Programs that can lower your copays or deductible costs. The Florida Discount Drug Card Program features similar opportunities to pay less for the medications you need most.

Understand Florida laws and regulations for independent living communities
Florida requires that all independent living communities follow Escambia County zoning laws and Fair Housing Act standards pertaining to the housing of residents ages 55 and older. The state also expects that all independent living communities (including those with multiple buildings) be licensed through the Bureau of Health Facility Regulation if assisted living is also offered.
Licensing is a way to protect you, the staff members, and all visitors to your community. Depending on the extent of the care available to you and other residents of your independent living community, your community may need to obtain a specialty license from the abovementioned Bureau. This all depends on the type of personal care services your independent living community makes available to you if it is combined with assisted living or memory care units.
To ensure that all of Florida’s independent living communities keep up their obligation to serve residents and workers, the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) performs regular inspections. These inspections are designed to give you peace of mind knowing that the spaces you use regularly comply with all standards set forth by the state government.
Each year, communities are expected to submit some of their annual reports, such as those related to fire and sanitation, to the AHCA. You can look up reports on any senior living community through this Florida Health Finder search portal.
Any time a licensed facility has a deficiency, its leaders are given the chance to rectify issues in a timely manner. If you ever want to report a concern, you can submit your observations to the AHCA.
As a recap, many of the assisted living community licensing considerations, like staff-to-patient ratio, won’t apply to you if you’re in a stand-alone independent living community. However, if your community is combined with an assisted living or memory care facility, you may feel comforted knowing that your needs and well-being are protected. Plus, if you or your spouse needs to transition to an assisted living community later, you can be sure that Florida has set regulations in motion to keep you safe and protected.

COVID-19 regulations for Pensacola independent living communities
Since the threat of COVID-19 spread in Pensacola and the surrounding areas is low per reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are no specific Florida-related COVID policies to follow when you become a resident at an independent living community in this Gulf Shore city. With that being said, you should still follow best practices when it comes to protecting yourself from infectious diseases.
Vaccinations.
COVID vaccinations are designed to provide first-line protection against acquiring and spreading the virus. All individuals ages 55+ should consider getting vaccinated or speaking with their physicians about the benefits of vaccination. You can register online to receive a free COVID vaccination.
Masking.
When indoors and around many other people, wearing a mask may help you avoid contracting or spreading viruses and germs. Masks are especially useful if you’re feeling unwell or are around someone who’s exhibiting signs of illness, such as coughing or sneezing.
Facility cleanliness.
The cleaner you can keep your independent living space, the less chance you’ll have of allowing viruses and germs to live on high-touch surfaces like countertops and door handles.
Social distancing.
Practicing social distancing makes sense if you’re going to be in a crowded indoor space during flu season or when the risk of contracting COVID is higher than usual.
Quarantining.
To keep yourself and others safer, always isolate if you think you may have COVID. Take an at-home COVID test to be sure. If you’ve been diagnosed with COVID, stay home until your primary care provider says you’re no longer at risk of spreading COVID to others.

Types of independent living in Pensacola
As you might expect from the versatility of Pensacola’s amenities and the diversity of its population, the city offers several independent living options for seniors partnered with A Place for Mom. For example, it’s not unusual to find independent living apartments that are part of broader assisted living communities as well. These combined facility arrangements enable you to more easily transition through all the stages of life without having to move to a new community every time your personal care and medical requirements change.
How can you choose which independent living facility is the right one for your needs? Ideally, you’ll want to make a list of your most important attributes, such as pet friendliness, access to bus stops, or on-site exercise or entertainment spaces. Creating a personalized overview of your “nice to have” and “need to have” desires helps you pinpoint the right places to visit.
Services to expect at independent living communities
All of our partner independent living communities, whether they are stand-alone buildings or part of broader assisted living communities, are designed to give you as much freedom as possible. You’ll come and go as usual. The difference is that you won’t have to deal with the typical hassles of being a homeowner, like paying to install a new driveway or worrying about yard maintenance duties.
Modern amenities at independent living communities
Today’s independent living communities feel a lot like micro-cities. In fact, you might find that you don’t have to go beyond your community to get world-class cuisine, sip an adult beverage at a bar, enjoy live performances, or pamper yourself at a spa or beauty salon. Instead, you can expect all these amenities to be right outside your budget-friendly or luxury apartment door.
Just a few of the common independent living community perks available at many of our partner facilities include on-site recreational opportunities, devotional services, patios and gardens, libraries, eateries, movie rooms, game rooms, and media centers. Of course, when you do want to explore Pensacola, you can take advantage of low-cost or free transportation provided as part of your monthly rental fee agreement.
Housing for all tastes in independent living apartments
The apartment choices vary greatly from one independent living community to the next. Some are more quaint and cozy, whereas others may be spacious and more architecturally open concept in design. You’ll want to make sure that any apartment layout not only matches your preferred aesthetic but also meets any accessibility needs.
If you use a wheelchair, you’ll want to ensure the apartment in your independent living facility has the inclusivity features necessary so you can be as mobile as you can. These may include lowered bathroom sinks and wider doorways. Be sure to ask about all the comforts that each of our partner independent living communities offers when you’re touring so you can feel more confident when making your final selection.

Health care for seniors in Pensacola
Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola Hospital
For access to specialists and critical care treatment, consider Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola Hospital. The 566-bed hospital receives high marks for many types of available care services. Some notable types of conditions the doctors at Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola Hospital treat include colon cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. You can also choose this facility for emergency treatment.
Baptist Hospital
With a new health care building opening in late 2023, Baptist Hospital is one of the region’s premiere care providers. Baptist Hospital exceeds expectations for those seeking knee replacements, cardiovascular care, treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease care, and many more services.
HCA Florida West Hospital
The full-service HCA Florida West Hospital offers both general and specialty medicine, as well as surgeries. It’s been recognized regularly as a patient-centric facility in the region. HCA Florida West Hospital offers mental health care, neurosurgery, rehabilitative medicine, and even robot-assisted surgical procedures for those looking for more minimally-invasive surgeries.
Transportation for seniors in Pensacola
Getting around Pensacola on foot is possible in some neighborhoods. However, with a walkability score of just 36 out of 100, you’ll need to rely on other types of transportation to get to one of the area’s beautiful beaches or the historic downtown. The score is calculated by Walk Score, which measures how pedestrian-friendly a city is.[05]
For instance, you may want to drive the private car that you bring with you during your relocation to an independent living community. Or, you may want to use Uber and Lyft. Yet you don’t need to rely on personal or rideshare services because Pensacola operates a bus line seven days a week.
Pensacola’s buses are operated by the Escambia County Area Transit system, which locals call the ECAT. The ECAT has 22 bus lines, many of which run full-schedule routes on the weekends. Although ECAT buses are perfect for those who need special accommodations like wheelchair accessibility and bike racks, you or your spouse may still find it difficult to ride comfortably on ECAT’s standard vehicles. In that case, you can take advantage of the curbside ECAT ADA.
Another choice for easy transportation in Pensacola is the Go Seniors! Transportation Program, which is provided through the ECMS Foundation. To use this service, you’ll need to get a voucher from your health care provider. The voucher will enable you to ride to medical visits for $20. And if you know in advance that you’re not able to get transportation to run errands, get to a pharmacy, or make it to your next medical appointment, you can contact the ECCT Paratransit Services. This service is free but can fill up and won’t guarantee you a ride on the exact day you need it. Therefore, the more flexible your itinerary, the more useful ECCT Paratransit Services will be.
Freedom To Go is an additional transportation service tailored for seniors in Pensacola. With a team of dedicated drivers, they offer convenient transportation to various destinations, including doctor appointments, the grocery store, or brunch with friends. Their services are available Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Please note their prices vary due to changing gas prices.

Senior activities in Pensacola
Which city was called the third best place to retire in 2022 by U.S. News and World Report? You guessed it: Pensacola. What makes this Gulf Shore town on the Florida panhandle such a destination hotspot for all ages is its comfortable year-round climate, laid-back atmosphere, and a plethora of things to do. Admittedly, Pensacola can get hot and sticky during the summer months. Nevertheless, there are plenty of air-conditioned landmarks, museums, eateries, and other places to cool off. Or, you could just go somewhere like the popular Pensacola Beach with its 9.1-mile stretch of sand, complete with beverage vendors and constant breezes.[06]
Welcoming options for seniors
When you first arrive in Pensacola, you may want to integrate as quickly as possible with other peers in the area. In addition to taking advantage of any communal gatherings offered at your independent living community, like picnics, parties, and holiday celebrations, consider taking a trip to one of Pensacola’s senior-focused organizations.
For example, the Bayview Senior Resource Center provides a range of program activities for people ages 50 and older. There, you can indulge in everything from bingo to group outings. Remember that on the third Tuesday of the month, you can head to the Pensacola State College (PSC) student center for a meeting of the PSC Senior Citizens Club. This club sets up its monthly get-togethers by theme, so be sure to find out what to wear and expect each time you stop by.
The beach lifestyle
Even if you’ve lived in a beachside community before, you’ll be amazed at the many places to catch some rays, walk along the dunes, and engage in watersports like open-water swimming and fishing. Pensacola has quite a few beaches, but Pensacola Beach tends to be the one that gets a lot of attention. Not only will you appreciate how warm the water is year-round, but you’ll start to feel more at home every time you stroll along the piers or just relax under an umbrella and watch the waves.
If you’re looking for a more rustic, untamed beach instead of a groomed one, go to the protected Gulf Island National Seashore. It’s not in Pensacola but is very nearby and features more secluded beaches like Perdido Key Beach or Johnson Beach. And when you’re ready to head back to the mainland and public beaches, try Opal Beach or Quietwater Beach to round out your surfside explorations.
Museums, monuments, and more
Though water is definitely a focal point and tourist draw, it’s far from being Pensacola’s only hallmark. Within the city limits, you’ll find lots of places to engage your interests, whether you’re interested in sports, art, history, or something else.
The National Naval Aviation Museum is an exciting place to visit. General admission is free, but if you want to try a flight simulator or other special attraction, you’ll need to pay extra. At the museum, something’s always happening — you may even be able to spot a Blue Angels practice if you time your visit just right.
Another museum that’s a must-visit in Pensacola is the Historic Pensacola Village. It’s laid out to replicate and celebrate the legacy of the Florida panhandle region. Military members and seniors ages 65 and older are eligible to receive discounted tickets. If you receive food assistance, you can tour History Pensacola Village for free.
Are you a lover of the visual arts? Quayside Art Gallery should be on your to-do list. It’s a space dedicated to both showing and selling art pieces made by local artists. You aren’t obligated to make a purchase, but if you want to support the artistic community in Pensacola, it’s the perfect way to show your appreciation.
Pensacola wouldn’t be Pensacola without the Blue Wahoos Ballpark on the picturesque Pensacola Bay. Even if you’ve never been into minor league baseball, you owe it to the home team to attend at least one game. Be sure to catch all the other happenings at the ballpark, too. These include everything from concerts to festivals.
Certainly, it can be a little overwhelming to put together your own tour of all the landmarks Pensacola’s known for. That’s where the Go Retro tour of Pensacola’s landmarks comes in handy. A refurbished 1930s Ford transit bus will transport you around the city. It’s a wonderful way to get an all-encompassing idea of what makes Pensacola unique.
The Gulf’s fitness lifestyle
Many seniors in Pensacola like to stay outdoors and indulge in their favorite fitness activities 12 months a year. From hiking and golfing to pickleball and tennis, practically every recreational sport is available to you as a resident of this activity-minded community.
For instance, try some golfing at some of the places ranked highly by GolfPass, such as the Lost Key Golf Club, Stonebrook Golf Club, or Cypress Lakes Golf Club.[07] Or follow the Pensacola Panhandle Pickleball Facebook group to stay up to date on where to play. If you’re interested in indoor pickleball and exercising in general, become a member of the Bear Levin Studer Family YMCA.
Just make sure you take time to relax after a hard day of hiking, cycling, or swinging a club. The restaurant scene in Pensacola is highly diverse and features both standard local Southern cuisine to international gems. Whether you’re in the mood for barbecue or authentic Italian fare, you’re sure to find it near your independent living apartment.
