Financial and Medicaid Waiver Guidance for Families New to APD Services

Navigating funding and services can feel overwhelming for families new to the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) system. At Skycrest Place and Stardust Group Home, we’re here to make that process easier.

Many families receive assistance through the Florida Medicaid Waiver Program, which helps cover the cost of residential care, therapies, and daily support. APD works directly with families to determine eligibility and guide them through the application process.

We encourage families to start early — contacting your APD regional office or support coordinator for help understanding available services. Our team also provides resources and referrals to help you make informed financial decisions.

Once approved, the waiver ensures your loved one receives the supports they need in a safe, APD-licensed home. We work alongside families to make the transition smooth and transparent, focusing on what truly matters: your child’s wellbeing and happiness.

At Skycrest Place and Stardust Group Home, we believe financial planning shouldn’t stand in the way of quality care. With the right guidance and APD support, every family can find peace of mind and stability.
