How much does assisted living cost in St. Augustine?
Assisted Living in St. Augustine typically runs $3,200 to $5,500 per month.

Does Medicaid cover assisted living in St. Augustine?
Medicaid does not directly pay for room and board in assisted living settings, but Florida's Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC LTC) program covers personal care, attendant care, and in-home/community-based services, which can offset much of the care portion for eligible residents. Eligibility is income- and asset-based. Our advisors can walk you through what your parent qualifies for and which St. Augustine facilities accept the plan.
How do I know if a assisted living facility in St. Augustine is licensed?
Every legal assisted living provider in St. Augustine is licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), Bureau of Health Facility Regulation, under Florida Statutes Chapter 429, Part I and Rule 59A-36. You can look up any facility's license, inspections, complaints, and regulatory actions directly at floridahealthfinder.gov. We only refer families to facilities with active, clean licenses.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home?
Assisted Living is for older adults who need help with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication reminders) but don't require 24/7 skilled medical care. Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs) provide ongoing medical care from licensed nurses for residents with serious medical conditions or post-hospital recovery needs. Many St. Augustine families start with assisted living and transition to skilled nursing if care needs increase.
How fast can I move my parent into assisted living in St. Augustine?
Most St. Augustine facilities can accept a new resident within 3–10 days, assuming the health assessment, financial paperwork, and physician's order are complete. Memory care can sometimes be same-day or next-day if a secured unit has availability. Call us at (904) 555-0100 for current openings in your preferred neighborhood.
