How much does Discovery Village at Palm Beach Gardens cost?

We don't quote Discovery Village at Palm Beach Gardens's prices, and AHCA doesn't publish them. The statewide benchmark is CareScout's 2025 Florida median of $66,000 a year for a private one-bedroom in assisted living, about $5,500 a month.

The AHCA profile lists no Medicaid program, so plan on private pay, long-term care insurance or VA benefits. Florida's Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program (SMMC LTC) can pay for services in an assisted living facility that contracts with the resident's plan, but not for room and board; see the SMMC LTC guide. Ask for the written fee schedule, any level-of-care fees, and how much notice the community gives before a rate increase.
