Bonita Springs sits on the Lee and Collier line, which matters more than it sounds: families here often assume their application goes to Collier because Naples is closer, and it does not.

Medicaid Questions From Bonita Springs Families
Where do Bonita Springs residents apply for long-term care Medicaid?
There is no Medicaid office in Bonita Springs itself. Applications from Lee County are filed with Florida's Department of Children and Families through ACCESS Florida, and the CARES assessment is handled by the state's regional office. We file the application and communicate with the Medicaid office on your behalf.
How long does approval usually take in Florida?
The state generally aims to decide within 45 days of a complete application, though cases needing a disability determination or a CARES assessment can take longer. Missing documentation is the most common cause of delay, which is why we assemble the file before it goes in.
What does your help cost?
The screening call is free and there is no obligation. If we take the case, we quote our fee upfront before you commit to anything, so you know the number before you decide. Any legal work is quoted separately by the elder law attorney.
Can we still qualify if we are over the income or asset limit?
Often, yes. Florida allows qualified income trusts and several planning options for married couples, and additional strategies may be available depending on your specific circumstances. We work with independent elder law attorneys who handle the legal work, and we will tell you plainly if Medicaid is not the right fit yet.
In addition to Bonita Springs, we help families with Medicaid planning in Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Port Charlotte and throughout Southwest Florida. Available 7 days a week, with appointments outside normal business hours. Call 239-955-3544 for a free consultation.
