Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) · Jacksonville Senior Advisor
Linda Alvarez is a Certified Senior Advisor with more than 20 years helping Northeast Florida families navigate assisted living placement, memory care, and the Medicaid maze across the Jacksonville metro. She specializes in untangling cost and payment questions — Florida's Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC LTC) waiver, ElderSource resources, and how St. Johns County costs compare to Duval County — for families under pressure. Linda has personally toured communities across Duval, Clay, St. Johns, Nassau, and Baker counties and knows how neighborhood and county shape the math on every placement.
Linda Alvarez contributes practical, Florida-specific guidance to the Jacksonville Senior Advisor blog. Our advice is free to families and grounded in current AHCA licensing data and SMMC LTC Medicaid rules.
Free, no-pressure call. We work for families, not facilities.
