Medicaid Assistance: High-Quality Care for Every Budget
A key advantage of The Francis House is our acceptance of Medicaid, a program that can significantly alleviate the financial burden of long-term care for families. What sets us apart from other assisted living facilities is that we don’t compromise on the quality of care simply because Medicaid is involved. Our commitment to excellence remains the same, whether a resident is paying privately or using Medicaid assistance.
Medicaid and Eligibility
Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that offers financial assistance to low-income individuals, including seniors who require long-term care services. Eligibility for Medicaid varies by state, but it typically depends on income, assets, and the level of care needed. At The Francis House, we encourage families to explore Medicaid as a payment option if they meet the necessary criteria, as it can significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
How We Assist with Medicaid Paperwork
Navigating Medicaid can be daunting, with its complex eligibility requirements and lengthy paperwork. That’s why we offer hands-on assistance to families throughout the Medicaid application process. Our experienced staff is knowledgeable about the specific documentation and forms required, and we work closely with you to ensure that the application is completed accurately and submitted on time. Whether it’s gathering financial records, explaining the eligibility criteria, or troubleshooting issues, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Our goal is to remove the stress from the process, so you can focus on what’s most important—ensuring your loved one receives the care they deserve.
Medicaid with No Compromise in Care
While some facilities may reduce the quality of services for Medicaid residents, The Francis House is committed to providing the highest standard of care, regardless of the payment source. Medicaid-eligible residents receive the same level of personalized attention, comfort, and dignity as those paying privately. We believe that everyone deserves high-quality care, and we’re proud to offer a facility where financial considerations don’t impact the quality of services provided.

Beyond Medicaid, The Francis House offers other flexible payment options to accommodate the unique financial situations of our residents and their families.
Cash Pay
For families who prefer to pay directly, our cash pay option provides a simple and straightforward method of covering the cost of care. This option may be ideal for families who have set aside savings for long-term care or for those who do not qualify for Medicaid. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect each month. Many families appreciate the ease of managing payments this way, as it allows them to maintain full control over their finances.Long-Term Care Insurance
If your loved one holds a long-term care insurance policy, The Francis House can work with your insurance provider to ensure coverage for assisted living services. Long-term care insurance policies are designed to offset the high cost of extended care, including assistance with daily living activities, and may cover a significant portion of the costs at The Francis House. Our staff is well-versed in coordinating with insurance companies to manage billing, ensure accurate coverage, and reduce any administrative burden on families. We work directly with insurers to confirm benefits and ensure that residents receive the care they need with as little hassle as possible.
