Overview

Nursing Homes in Florida

Florida is one of the top retirement states in the country, and its senior living options are among the most plentiful anywhere — from large coastal communities to small residential care homes. Assisted living here averages about $5,610 a month, though costs swing widely by region, from roughly $3,449 in Pensacola to $6,957 in Fort Lauderdale.

Because Florida draws so many retirees and out-of-state families relocating a loved one, competition and availability are strong across the state. Below you can compare communities by city, review what each offers, and get free help from a local advisor.
