RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

For over 20 years, Acupuncture has been recommended by both the National Institute of Health and The World Health Organization for over 90 health conditions.

Most major health insurance providers offer plans that cover acupuncture treatment, including the Veteran’s Administration (VA).

In July, 2020 Acupuncture was added as a first time trial to the list of covered services for Medicare

and Medicare Advantage plans.

Medicare beneficiaries are eligible for up to 20 acupuncture treatments per year.

Most recently, on July 29, 2021, HR4803 “Acupuncture for Our Seniors Act” was submitted to the House of Representatives.

When approved, acupuncturists will be permanently classified as Medicare Providers,making this effective treatment universally available to all Medicare beneficiaries.

Live the Life You Deserve at The Alloro at University Groves

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 - ActiveAdult 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, hasslefree 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 needs of the modern senior have evolved and has gone to great lengths to

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 pickleball 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.

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)

• 45 Hours X $13/hr = $585/week or $30,420/yr or $2,535/mo Estimated Savings (proposed senior day care option): • $1,755/month or $21,060/year Joan discovered she would save almost $2,000 per month on care.

Ultimately, she used both services and Bob connected with others and developed new friendships. He came home with a renewed sense of purpose.

The combination of services is perfect for Joan and Bob. Chelsea Place offers solutions for every stage of senior care including daytime senior care & activities, home care and assisted living.

Today’s healthcare system is complex and fragmented.

Primary care doctors, specialists, multiple medications, therapies, Medicare, Medicare supplements, Medicaid, primary insurance, secondary insurance, long-term care insurance, home health care, and therapies. EOBs, MCOs, NPs, BH, HHA and so many other acronyms what do they all mean? As we continue to age, it is difficult to navigate all of the services and people that come into and out of our lives. Often times seniors are targets for scams or may be taken advantage of by professionals who use their influence while we are in a vulnerable position.

Do you need help from a trusted advisor: • Coordinating/monitoring service

providers?

•C oordinating government assistance, insurance or other benefits?

•M onitoring/advocating for medical needs?

•M aking/recommending home safety changes?

•A dvocating for medical needs with providers?

LIFE-CHANGING CARE. HOPE AMIDST UNCERTAINTY.

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 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) • Inpatient and outpatient 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.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Before finding yourself in an emergency, there are legal documents that should be executed prior to losing capacity. Having certain documents in place would allow your family and friends to continue to care for you and your finances, while you are incapacitated.

The Power of Attorney and Health Care Surrogate grants fiduciary powers to a person to act on your behalf, for finances and medical decisions. A Living Will states what

your wishes are regarding lifeprolonging procedures. Capacity is required at the time of execution of these documents. If you no longer have capacity and do not have these documents in place, then a guardianship would be required, leaving the decision-making process in someone else’s hands, instead of your own.

Your family and friends should not be burdened with the fear and anxiety of making major decisions on your behalf. It is better to provide them with the necessary tools, so that they may follow your instructions.

Peace of Mind is priceless.

The question of who needs life insurance is very personal. An easy way to know if you do is to consider if someone would suffer financially if you were to pass away. If the answer is yes, then there’s a good chance that you should consider life insurance.

RETIREES Surviving partners often must make do with less Social Security and pension support. They may also have unforeseen funeral costs to cover. This can seriously hamper their finances.

What’s more, if you’re planning on leaving money to heirs, they could be required to pay estate taxes of up to 45%. Life insurance, which is almost always exempt from federal taxes, can be immensely helpful in any of these situations.

There are several different types of life insurance. What they all have in common is that they pay cash to your loved ones in the event that you pass away. This lets your nearest and dearest remain on firm financial ground even though your earnings have stopped.

Life insurance can help your loved ones cover virtually any expense they currently (or will someday) face if your financial contributions were no longer in the picture.

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.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Hearing loss is one of the most common health issues in the world. In the United States, 12 percent of the population, or 38 million people, have a significant hearing loss.

Yet, only one out of every five people who could benefit from hearing aids actually wears them. Difficulties with your hearing can have an effect not only on your relationships but also on your mental health.

There have been several hearing loss studies that show an increase in anxiety and depression, accelerated brain tissue loss and dementia. People with a hearing loss are 2-5 times more likely to experience cognitive decline than someone with normal hearing. A study

performed by Johns Hopkins Medicine tested volunteers with hearing loss over a six-year period and found their cognitive abilities declined 30-40 percent faster than peers with normal hearing. The researcher, Dr. Frank Lin, states that,

“If you want to address hearing loss well, do it sooner rather than later, before brain structural changes take place”.

There is a long list of what downsizing means to move managers, but they unanimously agree that there is a positive association with the word.

Downsizing is a gift to yourself and your children; it’s a time to choose what you love, need and use. Downsizing is an opportunity to take charge of your life and to move forward with joy.

The most often repeated definition of downsizing was that it is LIBERATING! We see time and again that the most positive result of downsizing is the liberating feeling once the process is completed. Living with less will absolutely simplify your life. If you are ready to embark on the path to freedom, these six downsizing “surprises” will inspire you to get started.

SIX “SURPRISES” OF DOWNSIZING: 1. Your children will thank you.

2. You will get on a roll and not want to stop.

3. Saying “yes” to donating is rewarding.

4. Honoring your decisions means honoring you.

THE REAL UPSIDE OF DOWNSIZING

The Real Upside of Downsizing

5. Reliving stories is a wonderful and necessary part of the process.

6. Your feelings will guide you toward success.

DIAGNOSING THE NEED FOR HOME CARE

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

148 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – FALL 2021

• 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. A nurse will visit the individual’s home to evaluate and discuss home care needs. A schedule can be developed for aides to assist with activities such as meal preparation, assistance with bathing and medications, light housekeeping and more.

INDEPENDENTLIVING TABLE OF DEFINITIONS CONTENTS

INDEPENDENT LIVING DEFINITIONS 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 & 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 provide personal/ nursing care.

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

156 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – FALL 2021

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.

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 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

168 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – FALL 2021

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

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS ASSISTED LIVING DEFINITIONS

• Educational programs to promote health and prevent illness

SeniorsBlueBook.com

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

204 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – FALL 2021

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.

TABLE OFNURSING SKILLED CONTENTS DEFINITIONS

homes are limited in the number of beds available for a particular payment form.

VETERAN’S BENEFITS - AID & ATTENDANCE: A program available from the Department of Veterans Affairs for qualified veterans who have wartime service and are qualified to receive a VA Pension. Financial and medical qualifications apply.
