Normally, medicaid does not cover assisted living facilities. If you are in an assisted living facility, and you run out of money, then you need to move to a nursing home. Most nursing homes will accept medicaid patients. Freedom Point is probably the most well know facility that offers independent living, assisted living, and nursing home care in The Villages. However, you do need to qualify, based on substantial financial assets to move in. I don't know about Florida, but some assisted living facilities are authorized to accept medicaid patients, based on the state approved program, but this is usually a very limited program.
