Payment Options for Nursing Home Care

Like most nursing facilities in Florida, Life Care Center of Orange Park accepts various payment methods:

Medicare Coverage

Medicare covers skilled nursing facility care following a qualifying three-day hospital stay, but with significant limitations:

  • 100% coverage for the first 20 days
  • Partial coverage for days 21-100, with a daily copay of $216.50 (2025)
  • No coverage beyond 100 days

Medicaid Coverage

For those who qualify financially, Florida’s Medicaid program may cover long-term nursing home care. However, strict eligibility requirements apply:

  • Monthly income limit of $2,901 (2025)
  • Asset limit of $2,000 for individuals

Private Insurance

Some long-term care insurance policies and other private insurance plans may cover portions of nursing home care.

Private Pay

Without insurance coverage or Medicaid eligibility, the full cost of care must be paid out-of-pocket, which can quickly deplete savings.

Planning ahead for payment options can help preserve family assets while still ensuring access to quality care.
