What drives cost in Florida
State medians reflect local wages, staffing requirements and demand. Within Florida, urban facilities usually cost more than rural ones, private rooms cost more than semi-private, and memory care or skilled nursing costs more than basic assisted living. The median is a starting point: ask each facility for its complete fee schedule, including medication management, therapy, laundry, transport and any entrance or community fee.
What the survey does not include
The figures are private-pay medians for the base service. Nursing home rates generally exclude medications, specialised therapies and transport; assisted living rates often exclude a la carte care charges. Long-term insurance, Medicaid and VA benefits can change what a family actually pays — see the payment guides below.
