Thank you so much for picking up the Fall 2020 edition of the Seniors Blue Book! We value and welcome your feedback, and hope you enjoy this season’s edition! At Seniors Blue Book, we pride ourselves on compiling a complete book of resources designed for seniors, their caregivers, family members, and our respected senior industry professionals. As always, we kindly ask you to please be sure to 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 this edition has been very different than any other we have produced, due to Covid 19. Our readers’ safety is of upmost importance to us, so we have had to get creative in all aspects of what we do. With that said, we’re excited to announce our Direct Mail Distribution in place of keeping books at many of our routine distribution points.

Our goal at Seniors Blue Book is to educate and provide helpful resources to the community which includes getting this handy informative guide into the hands of people who need it!

Over the last few months, we have also pivoted our SBB University events to a virtual platform. You can expect to see topics ranging from “ways to safely age in your own home”, “shortcuts when shopping for senior living”, “long term planning strategies”, to a variety of health and wellness topics. On a daily basis we continue to provide our audience with useful information from local experts. You

Samantha Hersch Publisher

can join us LIVE via Facebook at www. facebook.com/SeniorsBlueBookMSC at 9:30am every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. You can also re-watch interviews and educational panels anytime on our YouTube Channel called Seniors Blue Book Southwest Florida.

Please be sure to visit our new and improved website at seniorsbluebook. com or subscribe to our newsletter by e-mailing samantha@seniorsbluebook. com for an ongoing calendar of virtual SBB University events, and many more virtual activities going on in our area.

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

If you find yourself searching for senior housing options or care at home, please review our comprehensive comparison grids where you will find communities and agencies catalogued with specific amenities and services so you can select the most appropriate option for you. These valuable grids allow you to compare all the companies in Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte Counties apples to apples – so you know what services are offered before you call.

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

Get Florida’s 5 Step Guide to Senior Care Everything you need to know when choosing care for you or your loved one!

We completely understand how difficult it is to navigate the complex world of senior care. How do you know where to start? Do we hire an elder law attorney first? Should we meet with our local VA representative?

What’s the difference between Medicare and Medicaid? Should we look into assisted living or home care? How do you choose the first step? How do you know if it’s the right step? How do you know what to do next?

Most people caring for their aging

parents, spouse or a loved one face these questions at some point during their journey. This process can be extremely overwhelming, however, there is hope.

We are on a mission to eliminate the confusion and frustration by giving people an easy to follow guide to help them understand what they need and who to talk to in 5 simple steps.

To get a free copy of Florida’s 5-Step Guide to Senior Care, call (941) 677-7233.

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.

Medicaid Myths: Uncovering the Truth About Medicaid Qualification Many people are introduced to the Medicaid program when they confront the private pay cost of skilled nursing care, which can be upwards of $10,000 per month.

The rising costs of long-term care can quickly deplete one’s retirement savings. Florida’s Medicaid LongTerm Care (LTC) Program provides financial assistance to help pay for the cost of skilled nursing care.

However, navigating the qualification requirements for Medicaid LTC financial assistance can be daunting, and much of what you may have “heard” from others may not apply to you, or worse, may be wrong. The following are some of the most common “myths” about qualifying for the Medicaid LongTerm Care program, along with the truth debunking those myths: 1. The State will take my house if I go on Medicaid: FALSE. The homestead, under Florida law, is close to sacred. The homestead property is generally excluded from countable resources when determining eligibility for Medicaid.

The key is that the Medicaid applicant expresses the desire to return to the home (regardless of practicality), or a spouse or dependent relative lives in the home.

Caution: Even if the homestead is exempted from being “counted” for Medicaid, the applicant is not permitted to use their income

32 CHARLOTTE, MANATEE & SARASOTA COUNTIES – FALL 2020

for the home’s insurance, taxes or maintenance. Consult with an experienced elder law attorney about how to best handle these carrying costs of the homestead. A “Lady Bird” Deed may be a good planning option depending on your individual circumstances.

2. I have to spend all of my money before my husband/wife can qualify for Medicaid: FALSE. While it is true that the nursing home resident can have no more than $2,000 in countable resources, the spouse at home (community spouse) may keep up to $128,640 in countable resources (in some cases, it is even possible to increase the community spouse resource allowance). Even if all assets are held jointly, the couple has ample time after eligibility is granted to move the funds out of the nursing home resident’s name to the community spouse. Further, planning options may be available to convert countable assets into excluded assets in order to satisfy Medicaid’s asset limit requirements.

The client should contact an experienced elder law attorney for more details.

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.

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.

Right now, the hottest topic in Real Estate is “How do we safely sell Real Estate in a Covid-19 world?”

Much has changed for us over the last 6 months. For buyers of Real Estate, you’ll find that you are doing a lot more research about various properties prior to being offered an opportunity to view a home in person.

You will probably make your offer by signing a contract electronically. Your home inspection and appraisal could be reviewed virtually. If you are selling a property during these times, cleanliness is SO important. Buyers coming into your home should be required to wear a mask, gloves and maybe even booties.

Who thought we’d ever see something like “drive in” closings with the closing

agent standing outside your vehicle. In person closings are done in sterilized settings and buyers and sellers are never in a room together; or your closing could be done digitally, with Remote Notarization,now permissible by law in Florida.

If you are thinking of buying or selling, the real estate market is as hot as the summer heat. Homes are selling quickly, and buyers are taking advantage of all-time low interest rates; sometimes below 3%. If you have questions about the real estate process during this uncertain time, see below to and call or text me any time.

ACTIVE ADULT RETIREMENT COMMUNITY: Active adult communities offer independent, relatively maintenance-free living to residents aged 55 and over. In “age restricted” active adult communities, 80% of homeowners must be 55 and over, while “agetargeted” communities simply market to the 55+ crowd.

INDEPENDENT LIVING (IL): Communities designed specifically for the aging adult to enhance quality of life and remain independent as long as possible. A community may offer annual rentals or month-to-month.

Independent Communities provide residents with convenient access to dining and meal plans, entertainment and social activities, transportation, housekeeping and laundry, maintenance, wellness clinics, and access to third party medical services. Apartment styles vary and can include studios, one bedrooms, or two bedrooms. Communities offer amenities such as full kitchens, on-site pool, fitness center, walking paths, and more. These communities are NOT licensed to provide personal/ nursing care.

being completely independent and not necessarily needing all of the care assisted living residents may need.

Traditional independent options plus the option of adding ala carte personal care services as needed.

CCRC/LIFECARE: Continuing Care Retirement Community otherwise known as Life Care, offers a campusstyle environment that may include villas, apartments or condos, assisted living and skilled nursing services. A large endowment fee is usually required that entitles residents to use assisted or skilled services when needed throughout their lifetime. Residents “purchase” their villa or condo and then pay monthly maintenance fees. Payor sources accepted are private pay in villas/apartments/condos and some insurance plans in AL. See SNF for payor sources.

surprised me the most?”

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 TABLE LIVINGOF DEFINITIONS CONTENTS

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 homelike 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 • Provide or arrange for transportation to health care services • Health monitoring • Respite care • Social and leisure activities • Mental Health services TYPES OF ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY LICENSES There are three types of assisted

158 CHARLOTTE, MANATEE & SARASOTA COUNTIES – FALL 2020

living licenses. A community must have a standard assisted living community license in order to operate in the state of Florida. The other three licenses can 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: • Limited nursing services and assessments • Total help with bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting • Measurement and recording of vital signs and weight

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

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 a co-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 cover nursing home stays.

Plans vary widely.

TABLE OF CONTENTS ASSISTED LIVING DEFINITIONS

• Dietary management, including special diets, monitoring nutrition, SHORT TERM/RESPITE CARE: food, and fluid intake Circumstances require a caregiver • Supervise residents with dementia to seek temporary senior housing for your loved one. Knowing they can and/or cognitive impairments move seamlessly into an emergency • Provide or arrange for care environment that supports the rehabilitative services wellness needs of seniors allows • Provide escort services to medical peace of mind when you are called appointments away for business or vacation, or • Educational programs to promote if you just need a short break from health and prevent illness 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.

Our Residents Say It Best! should be the place!

- Jaye P., Proud Resident, Discovery Village At Sarasota Bay

“

If you ever want to “consider a move, this

“I’ve been truly blessed,” said Jaye, smiling contently while we chatted one recent, sunny afternoon. Jaye, 84, is vibrant and cheerful.

She cherishes the big things in life, speaking fondly about love, work and family. But it’s her ability to appreciate the little joys of everyday living that’s so enviable and makes her such a treasured part of our community.

Jaye worked more than 30 years for the iconic airline Pan-Am, and today maintains an active lifestyle, regularly enjoying a range of activities, from painting and exercise to the many local trips and excursions that typify life at our community.

DISCOVERY VILLAGE AT SARASOTA BAY

DISCOVERY VILLAGE AT SARASOTA BAY:

She also enjoys luxuries like the chef-prepared dining and the convenience of complimentary transportation. Jaye says she was especially happy to leave cooking and all the resulting clean-up behind.

“It’s really nice to have breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared fresh daily,” she said, “And with so much to do in and around the community, it’s never boring.”

Like so many residents from our community, Jaye enjoys the daily activities and events, but has a special affinity for the ever-popular “Mystery Rides,” which whisk excited residents off to a fun and “topsecret” destination each time. Jaye said one of her favorites was a recent, surprise visit to one of the area’s delicious and nostalgic ice cream shops.

Authentic and candid, there’s no truer testament to the lifestyle at Discovery Village At Sarasota Bay than from residents like Jaye, who simply know best. In closing, she said, “I really enjoy being here. It’s just a great place, and a lot of fun.”

Compassionate Senior Living is Lily’s Promise

After many years of specialization in Alzheimer’s, we have found that the symptoms of the disease often result in a reversion back to childhood, both emotionally and physically.

The world becomes frustrating as basic things like brushing your teeth becomes daunting. Now think back at how the world was as a child.

How reassuring it was to be with a small number of your peers in a calm, stable and familiar setting with warm and recognizable individuals providing catered care for you. This is what Lily’s Promise is all about.

Everything we do is geared to address the above scenario: 1) a residential

174 CHARLOTTE, MANATEE & SARASOTA COUNTIES – FALL 2020

home provides a homelike setting, 2) a nurse in each house provides the six residents constant medical attention 3) a 2 to 1 caregiver ratio (during busiest hours of the day) will address the most attention seeking individual, 4) homecooked meals and personalized activities will satisfy the soul and warm the heart. All this in a safe and professionally managed setting.

Lily’s Promise is indeed the closest thing to home.

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

196 CHARLOTTE, MANATEE & SARASOTA COUNTIES – FALL 2020

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
