How much does Hazel Cypen Tower cost?

Hazel Cypen Tower does not publish rates on its state record, and we do not quote facility prices. CareScout's 2025 survey puts Florida's median for a private one-bedroom in assisted living at $66,000 a year, 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.
