Discover the long term care alternative that lets you stay
at home

Florida Comfort Choice offers long term care and coordination of services that can help individuals stay at home while improving their quality of life.

The Florida Comfort Choice Long-term Care Community Diversion Program is sponsored by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA). Its goal is to keep you out of a nursing home -- and in your community -- as long as it’s reasonably safe. If you can no longer receive care at home, and your doctor feels that a nursing home is a better choice, you may still be covered with Florida Comfort Choice, depending on Medicaid requirements.

Florida Comfort Choice professional care managers and a network of providers are ready to help meet your needs. A care manager works closely with your primary care physician (PCP) to coordinate your care, arrange for social services, member education, and any other needs
.
