People over 60 make up nearly 25 percent of Florida's fast-growing population. Currently, Florida Medicaid covers about 61% of all nursing home days. That number will only grow in the future.
​
Our state Medicaid Long-Term Care program will continue to play a key role in caring for Florida's seniors. Unfortunately, this critically important program is also incredibly confusing. In this video series, Florida Voices for Health's Aging & Disability Consumer Advocate, Kelly Wilson, explains Florida's LTC program, what it means for Floridians, and the challenges faced by the program.
