Florida's Medicaid long-term care waitlist goes by score and frailty, not sign-up date

Each month Florida's Department of Elder Affairs releases people from the long-term care wait list based on their score and frailty-based level. Release is not based on how long a name has been on the list. When enrollment opens, the Aging and Disability Resource Center contacts the people on the list.
