Thank you so much for picking up the Spring 2021 edition of the Seniors Blue Book! Our thoughts are with you, your colleagues, and your loved ones as we continue to navigate through the uncertainties of COVID-19.

We value and welcome your feedback, and hope you enjoy this edition! At Seniors Blue Book, we pride ourselves on compiling a complete book of resources for seniors, their caregivers, family members, and our respected senior industry professionals. As always, we ask that you please tell our supporting partners that you heard of them from the Seniors Blue Book, so that we can continue to bring you this valuable resource guide FOR FREE! Working on these past two editions has been very different than any other edition we have produced, due to the COVD19 pandemic. Our readers’ safety is of utmost importance to us, so we had to get creative in all aspects of what we do. With that said, we’re excited to announce we will continue our Direct Mail Distribution in place of keeping books at many of our routine distribution points.

Our goal is to educate and provide helpful resources to the community and that includes getting this guide into the hands of all who need it!

Over this last year, we have pivoted all things SBB to a virtual platform. On a weekly basis we continue to provide our audience with useful information from local experts. Tune in for valuable, virtual interviews and education on all of our

social networks.

The Seniors Blue Book is an Authoritative Publication with the ability to be trusted as accurate, true and reliable. We work diligently to provide you with the most comprehensive and up-to-date resources so that you can make educated, informed decisions regarding optimal living and healthy aging.

If you find yourself searching for senior housing options or care at home, review our comprehensive comparison grids, where you will find communities and agencies catalogued with specific amenities and services. These grids allow you to compare all the companies in our three county area – so you know what services are offered.

Limited copies of the Seniors Blue Book will continue to be available in all CVS and Walgreens Pharmacies from Manatee County to Marco Island, Florida!

If you have received this Resource Guide by mail and do not feel you can benefit from the information, please consider giving it to a friend or family member who would.

Save $$$$ on Home Care Alternative Meet Joan, who is caring for her husband, Bob. He suffers from dementia and Joan is concerned about his safety during the day, so she hired a home care agency to help her with Bob 45 hours per week.

This solution is taking a financial toll on Joan, who is concerned whether or not this is a sustainable option. We suggested to Joan that she try our daytime senior care and activities center – half the cost with 10x the benefits!

Current Option: • Private In-Home Care (5-6 days per week = 45 hours of care) • 45 Hours X $22/hr = $990/week or $51,480/yr or $4,290/mo Proposed Option: • Daytime Senior Care (5-6 days per week = 45 hours of care)

Michelle Robles, Esq., the Managing Attorney for Robles Law, P.A., is a graduate of Stetson University College of Law with an LLM in Elder Law and Barry University Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law with a Juris Doctor. Michelle Robles specializes in Estate Planning, Elder Law, Probate, Business Entities and Bankruptcy.

Her life experiences with her own personal victory over Stage 3C Ovarian Cancer, assisting with the care of her father through his aneurysm, and her grandparents’ encounter with Alzheimer’s and Dementia, have led to a passion in assisting families prepare a plan for aging, and assisting the surviving family members after their passing.

Additionally, Robles Law, P.A. recently expanded by adding another Attorney, Samuel D. Transue, Esq., who will handle Real Estate Law, Construction Law, Landlord/Tenant Law, Probate Litigation, and Civil Litigation.

Michelle’s goals are to assist all of her clients in creating an estate plan to cover any scenario that could occur in the future. For example, estate planning can help to avoid expensive and time-consuming Guardianship concerns. It can also make sure a client’s inheritance wishes are directly reflected, instead of allowing the State to determine inheritance. It is better to preplan to make sure a client’s wishes are honored.

The Fuss About Long Term Care What is the fuss about Long Term Care?

In a post-Covid world, it may be more important to consider Long Term Care coverage in case you need it.

Approximately 70% of people turning 65 today need some type of long-term care in their future.

Did you know that 20% of those requiring care will need it for longer than 5 years?

Control Your Care: Taking steps now to prepare, before you need care, can help you maintain control over your options in the future.

Preserve Your Assets: Knowing that you have planned now may ensure that a long-term care need will not impact your retirement assets.

38 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – SPRING 2021

Protect Your Family: Planning for care now allows your friends and family to be there for you—instead of having to become your caregiver.

The insurance I represent can provide you with life-time coverage, not increase in premiums and return funds to your heirs if you never use it. This insurance will pay a monthly amount for your care for life while you continue to live at home or pay for your care at a facility while protecting other assets for your heirs. We offer coverage for both husband and wife too!

Call me and I will be happy to help you with options that will work best for you and your family.

Care redefined.

MAR210330

At Tidewell Hospice, we know it’s never easy when a loved one is suffering a life-limiting illness.

The pandemic has made it harder, often preventing families from being together when it matters most.

That’s why Tidewell teams know it’s vital that our services extend beyond the world-class hospice care for which we are known.

They set up video calls. They MAR201120F remain vigilant to ensure home visits are safe. They make life brighter, one relationship at a time.

Human connection. And a moment of joy, brought to you

Life-Changing Care.

Hope Amidst Uncertainty.

There has been a lot of uncertainty and fear during COVID-19. On top of major life changes such as retirement, loss of a loved one, and medical issues, quarantine has increased loneliness, anxiety and stress.

Are you caring for someone who is struggling with their mental health or abusing a substance? We can help.

Park Royal Hospital is a private, behavioral health facility in Fort Myers that can provide a no-cost assessment to determine what level of care is best for your loved one. Our treatment team includes psychiatrists, social workers, therapists, primary care physicians, physical therapists, dietitians, nurses, and other clinical professionals.

Our levels of care include: • Specialized Senior Inpatient unit that treats comorbid conditions along with behavioral issues, memory problems, and behavioral illnesses resulting from Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease • Co-occurring unit for those struggling with substance abuse and their mental health • Women’s unit that focuses on trauma with an all-female staff • Acute and sub-acute units for those with suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders • Medically supervised detox and rehabilitation programs • In-person or virtual outpatient programs including partial hospitalization (5 days a week) or intensive outpatient (3 days a week) • ECT services Maybe your loved one has never had a mental health diagnosis. That’s okay! Sometimes with aging we develop adjustment disorder when dealing with the next stage of life. Dementia is also something many families are facing with their loved ones.

There are seven stages of Dementia and each stage can bring new changes and adjustments and your loved one may respond by acting out only because they do not know how else to respond. For some, the right medication and coping skills can make a big difference in their quality of life. Park Royal Hospital is here to provide you with help for today and hope for tomorrow.

In a year, specifically like the one we are currently in where we are constantly indoors, it is of the utmost importance to stay active.

Diagnosing the Need for Home Care As our senior population grows, there is an increasing need for human assistance. Families historically filled this need, but today they live farther apart and work outside the home. In response, caregiving has become a profession.

Identification of a need for assistance can be difficult because a senior’s abilities may decline gradually, they may be reluctant to admit declining ability and families may lack knowledge of home care options.

The following list will tip you off to a potential need.

• Decline in personal hygiene • Depression or confusion

• Limited mobility /Fear of driving • Inability to manage medications or finances • Injuries or lack of cleanliness at home • Change in diet McKenney Home Care will provide a free, in-home evaluation.

INDEPENDENT / RETIREMENT TABLE COMMUNITIES OF CONTENTS

Why Do Some Seniors Choose A Life Care Community?

Researching retirement communities can be time consuming, confusing, and often overwhelming.

It is highly recommended that adult seniors who are interested in independent living should begin to research in their early 70s. Perhaps, even earlier as the options continue to expand, and the diverse nature of accommodations and amenities being offered continues to evolve.

For many seniors, there inevitably comes a time when they need more support such as Assisted Living, Memory Care and Skilled Nursing.

However, if one has not planned well for their future health care needs there is little time to research.

Decisions may need to be made in haste. Retirement living in an independent setting may no longer be an option. Often finding suitable accommodations all too often fall to one’s adult children or other relatives.

It is for this very reason; today’s seniors are looking to their future and want to make plans while they are still in control and able to make decisions for themselves.

This is where a Life Plan Community (Continuing Care Retirement Community) can be most beneficial.

These types of communities cater to the health and well-being of active senior adults who are looking to make a transition while they are still healthy and active. By choosing this option, they can enjoy the countless opportunities, amenities and life enriching activities to the fullest

extent which will offer in return a very high quality of life. They will also be secure in the knowledge that when their health changes, they are already in a community that is able to offer them access to necessary care while not having to leave their community.

The active lifestyle offers its members a built-in social network that create connections and relationships that blossom and continue for many years.

Another significant difference with Life Care Communities (CCRCs) are the provision and coordination of services.

Many of which are all-inclusive and not extra fee for services. In fact, some Life Care Contracts offer the same monthly service fee throughout the levels of care. This ensures a very predictable cost of living for the residents for the rest of their lives which can help with financial management and asset protection.

Village On The Isle, a full service, not-for-profit, faith-based continuing care retirement community located on the Island of Venice, Florida.

Village On The Isle is the best of two worlds—I still have my outside memberships and involvements. I moved here because I didn’t want my children to worry about my future needs. I’m surprised by everyone’s openness to welcome a new person— they opened their hearts to me. You become a family of people who care about you. If you’re looking for life where you can be free of worry, c’mon down!

ASSISTED LIVING DEFINITIONS

ASSISTED LIVING DEFINITIONS WHAT ARE ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES? Assisted living communities provide full-time living arrangements in the least restrictive and most home-like setting. Communities can include individual apartments or rooms that a resident has alone or shares with another person. These communities can also range in size from one resident to several hundred residents.

The basic services include, but are not limited to: • Housing, nutritional meals, and special diets • Personal care (help with bathing, dressing, eating, walking, physical transfer) • Give medications (by a nurse employed at the community or arranged by contract) or help residents self-administer medications • Supervise residents • Arrange for health care services

be added in order for the community to provide services designated outside the spectrum of a standard assisted living community license.

STANDARD LICENSE: A residential community that provides direct physical assistance with or the supervision of activities of daily living, assistance with medication(s) and other similar services.

LIMITED NURSING SERVICES (LNS) LICENSE: An assisted living community with a LNS license provides the basic services of an assisted living community as well as nursing services provided by licensed nurses within the scope of their nursing practice. The resident would still need to meet admission and continued residency criteria.

EXTENDED CONGREGATE CARE (ECC) LICENSE: An ECC community can provide all the same services as an LNS community and the following:

• Provide or arrange for transportation • Limited nursing services and to health care services assessments • Health monitoring • Total help with bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting • Respite care • Social and leisure activities • Mental Health services

• Measurement and recording of vital signs and weight

• Dietary management, including special diets, monitoring nutrition, TYPES OF ASSISTED LIVING food, and fluid intake COMMUNITY LICENSES There are three types of assisted living • Supervise residents with dementia licenses.

The other three licenses can • Provide escort services to medical 146 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – SPRING 2021

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

• Educational programs to promote health and prevent illness PRIVATE/SELF-PAY: Self-pay residents use their own resources to pay for nursing care. This is sometimes referred to as private pay. Even if another payer covers your nursing home bill, you might have to pay for a portion of the bill.

This is referred to as aco-payment.

You might have to pay for the nursing home during a short absence from the nursing home. This is referred to as a bed hold. Make sure you understand how much of the nursing home bill that you are responsible for paying with your own money.

INSURANCE, HMOS, AND OTHER PAYERS: Some long-term care insurance, commercial insurance, commercial Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Veteran’s Administration, Workers’ Compensation, and other programs covering nursing home stays.

Plans vary widely.

SHORT TERM/RESPITE CARE: Circumstances require a caregiver to seek temporary senior housing for

your loved one. Knowing they can move seamlessly into an emergency care environment that supports the wellness needs of seniors allows peace of mind when you are called away for business or vacation, or if you just need a short break from caregiving.

ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (ADLs): Define the personal care services available in assisted living and include bathing, dressing, grooming, bathroom assistance, eating and ambulation.

Medication Administration and transferring are not ADLs but are factors in determining a person’s level of functioning.

ADULT DAY STAY PROGRAMS: There are two general types of adult day care programs. One is based on a medical model and the other on a social model. The medical model provides comprehensive medical, therapeutic, and rehabilitation day treatment. The social model offers supervised activities, peer support, companionship, and recreation. Both models assist older adults and those with chronic conditions to remain as independent as possible, for as long as possible.

SKILLED NURSING TABLE OF DEFINITIONS CONTENTS

SKILLED NURSING DEFINITIONS

SKILLED NURSING DEFINITIONS SKILLED NURSING COMMUNITY (SNF): This level of care is typically found in a nursing center or a transitional care unit in a hospital.

Skilled Nursing commonly offers two types of care within the community, short-term rehabilitation and longterm care. Short-term rehabilitation is typically paid for by Medicare or Insurance Plans and includes but is not limited to therapies and nursing care.

Physical, occupational, speech and respiratory therapies are commonly offered within a SNF. Health monitoring, 24 hour personal care (activities of daily living), trach care and more are provided within a SNF. Rooms are typically furnished and depending on the community may offer both private and shared accomodations. Other services include meals, activities, transportation, phone service, cable television and all personal care. Depending on the facility, payor sources accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, VA, insurance plans & private sources.

PHYSICAL THERAPY (PT): Refers to assessing and treating large motor function, utilizing rehabilitative techniques of exercise, gait training, prosthetics, and heat to restore the client to his/ her highest functional level of strength, range of motion and mobility.

SPEECH THERAPY (ST): Assesses and treats speech and swallowing disorders. Provides individually designed treatment programs to maximize

communicative effectiveness for the client, such as stroke, head injury, laryngectomy, voice disorders, as well as cognitive deficits.

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY (OT): Assesses and treats small motor function. Utilizes rehabilitative techniques of exercise, splinting and assistive devices to increase the client’s ability to carry out normal daily activity such as feeding, dressing, grooming, and performing household tasks. Guides client through specialized regimes and encourages sensory and muscle return.

Exercises and activities are used to increase upper body extremity function.

TRACH CARE: Refers to care administered to patients who have undergone a tracheotomy. A tracheotomy is a surgical procedure in which a cut or opening is made in the windpipe (trachea). The surgeon inserts a tube into the opening to bypass an obstruction, allow air to get to the lungs, or remove secretions.

LONG TERM CARE: Skilled nursing communities can offer care to people who cannot be cared for at home or in the community. They provide 24 hour care, nursing and rehabilitation services, meals, activities, help with daily living and supervision. Many communities also offer temporary or periodic care called Respite Care.

METHODS OF PAYMENT: Not all nursing homes accept all forms of payments. Furthermore, some nursing

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

INSURANCE, HMOS, AND OTHER PAYERS: Some long-term care insurance, commercial insurance, commercial Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Veteran’s Administration, Workers’ Compensation, and other programs cover nursing home stays.

Plans vary widely.

SOCIAL WORKER: A clinical social worker whose purpose in health care is to enhance, promote, maintain, and restore the best possible social abilities of the patient or family. Services provided may be preventative, developmental, or remedial in nature.

MEDICARE: Medicare is a Federal program that serves people 65 and older and those with certain disabilities, regardless of income. Qualified individuals are automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A, but must apply to become eligible for Part B coverage. Medicare generally pays for the first twenty days in a nursing home following a hospital stay of at least

three days. Medicare generally pays a portion of the nursing home bill (after the first 20 days) for up to 100 days per year.

MEDICAID: Medicaid is a state-administered medical assistance program that serves low-income families, those 65 and older, people who are blind, and people who are disabled. You must apply and qualify for Medicaid before you are eligible for Medicaid coverage. Schedule an appointment with your local Department of Children and Family Services’ Medicaid Eligibility office to determine if you are financially eligible for Medicaid. Applicants must demonstrate that assets and income are below a maximum level, as well as other criteria in order to be eligible. Medicaid applicants must also meet medical eligibility for nursing home placement.
