LUXURY RESORT-STYLE LIVING

Luxury Resort-Style Living Award-Winning Lifestyle Program Starting At Just $2,025/Month

Nowadays, we hear a lot about the notion of ‘living your best life,’ and the idea of prioritizing your overall wellness and happiness.

As more and more newly-minted seniors continue to embrace this concept, a new type of 55+ living experience has emerged Active-Adult communities.

Featuring robust activity and event calendars and resort-inspired amenities, these facilities cater to those who elect to shed the burdens of home ownership and maintenance in favor of a downsized, hassle-free life. They do not feature the higher level of medical service and support that one might expect to see at a more traditional ‘old folks’

home,’ instead offering residents an experience more comparable to a high-end vacation – a tradeoff that has proven extremely desirable to this new generation of young senior.

Coming soon to Sarasota, Florida, The Alloro at University Groves has taken this idea to the next level. The Alloro team has recognized that the

Luxurious resort living community for those 55+ 14 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – ANNUAL 2023

– their happiness and well-being.

Thankfully, this brand-new community offers them everything needed to tailor their retirement experience to a perfect fit. Whether it’s a relaxing day sunbathing at the property’s pool and spa, a beauty treatment at the on-site salon, a workout in the state-of-the-art fitness center or pickle ball court, a leisurely walk in the dog park or even just a mellow night at home in their spacious one- or two-bedroom apartment, residents have access to activities and resort inspired amenities right at their fingertips.

“Alloro residents will be able to take full advantage of their new home’s prime location.”

Conveniently located just a short drive from Sarasota’s bustling downtown and many of the region’s top shopping, dining and entertainment destinations, Alloro community members will have no shortage of exciting, fun and enjoyable outings just a stone’s throw from their beautiful new apartment.

Even in these early stages, The Alloro at University Groves has already garnered unprecedented interest from potential residents.

If you’re interested in learning more about how you can live your best life at The Alloro at University Groves, we encourage you to call (941) 724-8312 today to speak with one of the property’s leasing specialists or visit lifeatalloro.com for more information.

LUXURY RESORT-STYLE LIVING

needs of the modern senior have evolved and has gone to great lengths to emphasize providing its residents the freedom they need to live the life they deserve – one that allows them to choose between countless ways to enjoy each day in their brand-new, high-end community.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

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. We suggested 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 $32/hr. = $1,440/week or $74,880/yr. or $6,240/mo.

Hearing Aids of Sarasota was established with a culture based on doing what is right for every patient who walks through the door.

For more than 40 years we’ve earned the reputation in Sarasota and Manatee counties for providing the most trustworthy and best quality of care to patients.

We use evidence-based best practices to fit our clients with the perfect technology to meet each individual’s needs. Together with the client, we determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

Sometimes proper programming of a patient’s current aids is all that is needed to improve hearing and quality of life. While hearing device

technology is important, the hearing healthcare provider you work with plays an important role.

Plain and simple: Dr. Breese wouldn’t be where she is today without the role her “Granddad the greatest” played in her life. A Navy Veteran, he was (and always will be), her anchor. Dr. Breese’s Granddad believed in her and gave her the mindset of always doing what is right for every individual as well as believing in herself, her drive, her passions, and her dreams.

Hearing Aids of Sarasota will be your anchor for all of your hearing healthcare needs so that you can achieve honest, caring, patientcentered, up-to-date treatment and education.

What Is a Hearing Aid? They are small battery-powered devices that fit into your ears to improve your hearing. All digital hearing aids come with four major parts: the microphone to pick up sound, a chip that amplifies sound and processes it, a speaker that sends the sounds to your ear and a battery to power them.

Here are three main questions you should ask your hearing professional.

Will It Help My Hearing Loss?

Hearing aids won’t cure your hearing loss, but are there to help make you hear more clearly. They also help prevent further hearing loss.

What Hearing Aid Style Is Best For Me? There are two main styles to choose

from: in-the-ear and behind-the-ear.

In-the-ear hearing aids sit inside your ear and are also mostly invisible.

Behind-the-ear hearing aids come with a hook that loops around your ear to keep them in place. The sound comes through the back and then travels up the tube into your ear.

How Do I Maintain My Hearing Aids?

They are not waterproof, but are splashproof so don’t swim or bathe with them.

Your hearing professional might offer a hearing aid cleaning service free of charge but you should clean them yourself daily. You can buy a hearing aid cleaning kit which comes with a wax pick and brush.

For more information on your hearing aids or to talk to a hearing professional, give the team at Hear Again America a call at (877) 905-9493.

OPTIMIZE YOUR BRAIN HEALTH AND TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR FUTURE

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

Optimize Your Brain Health and Take Control of Your Future!

The most current research has identified two interesting facts about cognitive decline: 1) There are multiple risk factors that collectively lead to the deterioration of cognitive functions and 2) the process of cognitive decline starts 20 years before you begin to notice any of the signs.

Dale Bredesen, M.D., CO-Founder and Chief Science Officer for Grey Matters: Precision Brain Health Centers pioneered this research and has developed protocols that offer the opportunity to prevent cognitive decline by optimizing your brain health, and reverse symptoms of cognitive decline if you are already experiencing them.

These protocols start by getting a “cognoscopy” to determine which risk factors you may have. A cognoscopy consists of a series of online tests and blood draws. There are at least 36 risk factors, so these thorough tests give us the opportunity to get a very detailed report of your current cognitive status.

Once your risk factors are identified, you will receive a personalized care plan that treat each risk factor individually. Dr. Bredesen explains his treatment of cognitive decline by comparing it to a roof with 36 holes in it. When it rains, you simply cannot

plug one hole and expect water not to leak through. You need to focus on, and plug, each hole separately to prevent water from leaking through. Our care plans focus on each risk factor individually and, when done right, can effectively prevent, or reverse, cognitive decline such as Alzheimer’s disease or any other form of dementia.

We do not offer a “silver bullet” solution because there isn’t a simple solution for optimizing your brain health. Our care plans involve lifestyle changes that offer you the chance to live a longer, independent, and healthy life. Considering these lifestyle changes may be difficult to manage on your own, our team offers 24/7 ongoing support to make sure you have everything you need to effectively implement your personalized care plan.

We encourage everyone to get a cognoscopy as early as 40 years of age, or earlier if you want to start now, because the process of cognitive decline starts 20 years before you begin to notice any of the signs. The earlier you get a cognoscopy, the sooner you can start managing your risk factors to optimize and maintain a healthy brain.

Estate Planning has many puzzle pieces that must be placed and connected correctly for the plan to work properly.

Most people who want to protect their family by executing a Will may have accidentally turned their good intentions into a costly error. For example, they may not have properly avoided probate or left gifts to minors.

Not planning correctly for real estate or designating beneficiaries on other accounts or policies, can lead your family straight into probate. Leaving a Minor Child/Grandchild an amount over the statutory limit without proper planning will require a guardianship over the property of that Minor.

In the case Aldrich v. Basile, 136

So. 3d 530 (Fla. 2014), a “fill-in-theblank” Will from an online service was used, which resulted in a 3-year court case. Supreme Court Justice Pariente responded, “While I appreciate that there are many individuals in this state who might have difficulty affording a lawyer, this case does remind me of the old adage “penny-wise and poundfoolish.” …In a case such as this, which involved a substantial sum of money, the time, effort, and expense of extensive litigation undertaken in order to prove a testator’s true intent…”

Meeting with an Attorney can help you avoid costly errors.

VALUE-BASED CARE CAN IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

Value-Based Care Can Improve Outcomes for Patients with Dementia Dementia cases are slated to double by 2060. Value-based healthcare aims to change course with a focus on prevention and integrated patient care.

Dementia affects more than 6 million Americans, and by 2025, an estimated 7.2 million Americans are expected to have Alzheimer’s disease, which accounts for the majority of cases.

When you consider how loved ones are affected by a relative’s dementia diagnosis and the required caliber of care, many millions of Americans are affected by this diabolical disease.

Worse, dementia prevalence is expected to climb to a staggering 13.8 million by 2060, almost doubling the current number.

Living with dementia is stressful and scary for the patient and their loved ones, who may be unsure how to provide the necessary support. Ensuring your loved one has the highest-quality care during the unpredictable and tumultuous time that follows a dementia diagnosis is hard enough. But navigating a fee-for-service health care model where additional tests and procedures stack up as quickly as medical bills without any hope of improvement only adds insult to injury.

But what if value-based care could not only curtail that statistic but change course entirely? The good news is that with value-based care from an integrated team and a focus on lifestyle choices, dementia could be delayed or prevented entirely.

which providers, including hospitals and physicians, are paid based on health outcomes.

Leveraging Value-Based Care for Dementia Prevention In a value-based service model, doctors are empowered to spend more quality time with their patients, allowing them to understand their patient’s behaviors and how to take preventative measures that prevent cognitive decline. Lifestyle choices play a pivotal role in preventing disease, especially when it comes to dementia. Some lifestyle choices can significantly reduce or altogether prevent a patient’s chances of developing dementia, such as: • Increasing physical activity • Maintaining a healthy weight • Limiting or avoiding alcohol consumption • Avoiding smoking • Consistent, quality sleep • A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fish, and seafood like the Mediterranean or MIND diet • A healthy social life/support system In many ways, the fee-for-service model makes spending quality time with patients challenging. Value-based care aims to change the trajectory of dementia and equip elderly patients with the tools and resources they need to bolster their brain health and feel supported by their doctors.

Tinnitus is the perception of a sound, a combination of sounds or changing sounds that has no external source.

Some of the more common sounds reported are: ringing, humming, buzzing, and cricket-like.

It can be constant or intermittent and is heard in one ear, both ears or in the head. Tinnitus is almost always accompanied by hearing loss, so if you have it, you should have your hearing tested by a hearing health professional.

Tinnitus can have a direct influence on thoughts and emotions, hearing, sleep and concentration.

HEARING: Some people with tinnitus (39%) say that the sound of the tinnitus competes with or masks things they are trying to hear. There are many things

you can do to improve your listening strategies, and hearing aids often improve hearing and tinnitus.

SLEEP: Many tinnitus sufferers (20%) report that when they are in their quiet bedroom, their tinnitus interferes with them getting to sleep. It can also be difficult to get back to sleep when they wake up in the middle of the night.

Some report that is worse after waking up in the morning. To nurture your sleep experience, try sound therapy while falling asleep.

MANAGING TINNITUS Finding a good tinnitus care provider can greatly improve your quality of life.

Please call (888) 733-6967 to schedule a FREE hearing test and complimentary tinnitus consultation.

BALANCE THERAPY CAN REDUCE FALLS RISK AND HELP OVERCOME DIZZINESS

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

Balance Therapy Can Reduce the Risk of Falls and Help Overcome Dizziness At FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers, fall prevention is the cornerstone of our mission; “Balance” is part of our name after all! The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that more than one in four older people fall each year.

Twenty percent of falls lead to serious injuries, such as broken bones or a head injury. At FYZICAL, our therapists know how important balance and walking is for independent living, as well as enjoying life in general. We have developed a world-class balance rehabilitation program that can be tailored to each individual’s needs.

In our balance program, we will first evaluate your gait, known as your walking skills, to determine potential problems with strength and posture.

Then, we’ll test your balance by having you perform simple movements. These evaluations point us in the direction of what to focus on in terms of therapy.

Our team will create a fully customized balance therapy program to help you navigate challenging terrain and avoid dizzy spells. Your program may consist of manual therapy, vestibular rehabilitation and functional training.

At FYZICAL, we have changed the way balance therapy is performed through our Safety Overhead Support (SOS) System. This is an overhead harness system that consists of a trolly attached to the ceiling which allows our patients, while secured in a simple body harness, the freedom to safely perform functional types of activities. We are able to challenge our patients appropriately to achieve the best possible results with

balance and vestibular function without the patient having a fear of falling.

In addition to our facilities and equipment designed specifically for balance training, FYZICAL offers a holistic therapy approach including patient education to improve our patient’s health outcomes. Our therapists educate our patients on their condition causing the imbalance, as well as at-home exercises to help improve strength and confidence even after you have completed your balance program.

Please contact the FYZICAL nearest you to make an appointment for our balance therapy program, or to learn more about our additional offerings to help you get back to doing what you love!

INDEPENDENT / RETIREMENT TABLECOMMUNITIES OF CONTENTS

INDEPENDENT LIVING DEFINITIONS

INDEPENDENT LIVING DEFINITIONS provide personal/nursing care.

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 “age-targeted” 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 & meal plans, entertainment and social activities, transportation, housekeeping & 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

SUPERVISED INDEPENDENT LIVING: If you or your loved one may not need all the benefits of assisted living, then supervised independent living may be the right option for you. It’s the perfect bridge between 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.

All The Luxuries You Crave In A Customizable Fashion You’ll Love!

Nowadays, we hear a lot about the notion of ‘living your best life,’ and the idea of prioritizing your overall wellness and happiness.

As more and more newly-minted seniors continue to embrace this concept, a new type of 55+ living experience has emerged Active-Adult communities.

Featuring robust activity and event calendars and resort-inspired amenities, these facilities cater to those who elect to shed the burdens of home ownership and maintenance in favor of a downsized, hassle-free life. They do not feature the higher level of medical service and support that one might expect to see at a more traditional ‘old folks’

home,’ instead offering residents an experience more comparable to a high-end vacation – a tradeoff that has proven extremely desirable to this new generation of young senior.

Coming soon to Sarasota, Florida, The Alloro at University Groves has taken this idea to the next level. The Alloro team has recognized that the

Luxurious resort living community for those 55+ 130 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – ANNUAL 2023

– their happiness and well-being.

Thankfully, this brand-new community offers them everything needed to tailor their retirement experience to a perfect fit. Whether it’s a relaxing day sunbathing at the property’s pool and spa, a beauty treatment at the on-site salon, a workout in the state-of-the-art fitness center or pickle ball court, a leisurely walk in the dog park or even just a mellow night at home in their spacious one- or two-bedroom apartment, residents have access to activities and resort inspired amenities right at their fingertips.

“Alloro residents will be able to take full advantage of their new home’s prime location.”

Conveniently located just a short drive from Sarasota’s bustling downtown and many of the region’s top shopping, dining and entertainment destinations, Alloro community members will have no shortage of exciting, fun and enjoyable outings just a stone’s throw from their beautiful new apartment.

Even in these early stages, The Alloro at University Groves has already garnered unprecedented interest from potential residents. If you’re interested in learning more about how you can live your best life at The Alloro at University Groves, we encourage you to call (941) 724-8312 today to speak with one of the property’s leasing specialists or visit www.TheAlloro.com for more information. Don’t miss your chance to embrace the luxury lifestyle you deserve in one of sunny Florida’s newest luxury communities!

For seniors looking for new experiences and the freedom and ability to customize their lifestyle according to their own, unique likes and preferences (i.e. dining, recreation, health and wellness, etc.), Aston Gardens’ new formula is checking all those boxes and more. Here, a re-imagined dining room blends restaurant style seating with an available, chef’s exhibition kitchen for more diverse dining experiences. The all-new bar and lounge figures to be a hotspot for casual dining and the community’s signature happy hours. There’s also a movie theater, high-tech senior fitness center, and enhanced beauty salon and barber shop with available spa services. The real show stopper, however, may be the resort pool and sundeck, which now comes complete with private cabanas and intimate seating area. The new firebowl also promises to be the perfect gathering place for friends and neighbors to enjoy a nightcap or another unforgettable sunset. Is Aston Gardens beautiful? You bet. But the community’s new style and amenity areas have also been custom made to empower a lifestyle that’s, well, also custom made, by (and for) each, individual resident. Looks really aren’t everything; and that’s all the more incentive to come experience Aston Gardens’ resident-focused lifestyle for yourself!

Y

ou can see it the moment you set foot in the newly remodeled Aston Gardens At Pelican Pointe. The aesthetics are breathtaking. Stylish, yet inviting; modern, yet still supremely functional. The $5 million designer remodel drew rave reviews from hundreds of local seniors in attendance for a series of public grand unveiling events conducted by the community. There’s more to this story than just beauty, however. The new look and thoughtful improvements were designed to transform the overall lifestyle at this alreadypopular Venice community.

ASSISTEDTABLE 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 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 • 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 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 • Dietary management, including special diets, monitoring nutrition, food, and fluid intake • Supervise residents with dementia and/or cognitive impairments • Provide or arrange for rehabilitative services • Provide escort services to medical appointments

142 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – ANNUAL 2023

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.

ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES

• Educational programs to promote health and prevent illness

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 DEFINITIONS

SKILLED NURSING DEFINITIONS

SKILLED NURSING DEFINITIONS SKILLED NURSING FACILITIY (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 long-term 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 provate 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.

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.

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.
