Like visiting the dentist every year, it is important to visit your hearing specialist every year to get your hearing tested.

The importance of getting your hearing tested annually has become even more critical according to recent studies.

There is now significant research that shows a strong connection between untreated hearing loss and an increased risk of dementia. A recent study shows that, in some cases, preventing hearing loss can prevent dementia1. For your hearing and your cognitive health, it’s best to address these symptoms early.

Here are 5 important reasons why: •E arly detection of changes to your hearing (establishing a baseline) •E nhance communication and relationships

• Preserving cognitive function • Safety and awareness in your surroundings • Improve overall quality of life Don’t wait to get your hearing tested. If you find yourself or a loved one doing things such as asking others to repeat themselves, turning up the TV or radio to a volume others find loud, trouble understanding conversation in noisy places, or feeling like people mumble or slur their words; you could be experiencing hearing loss.

Editor’s Note: Call 941-421-3636 to schedule a FREE in-depth hearing consultation to find out how you are hearing and find a solution.

WHAT IS PHYSICAL THERAPY

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

What is Physical Therapy?

It is the treatment of conditions--such as soft tissue injuries, chronic and acute pain, arthritis, cartilage damage, gait disorders and physical impairments-through prescribed exercises, soft tissue and joint mobilization, electrotherapy, kinesiology, shockwave modality and health education.

The treatment is used to improve mobility and function and involves physical examination, diagnosis, prognosis, physical intervention, rehabilitation, and patient education.

You may need physical therapy to: • Help with your mobility issues if you can’t move, stand, or walk. Physical therapy includes muscle and joint strengthening and stretching exercises and procedures that boost mobility.

• Detect how the body reacts to different situations, diagnose movement and functional disorders and work with you to address and correct them.

• Achieve pain relief, including back pain, knee pain, neck pain and carpal tunnel pain.

• Improve recovery from stroke by increasing strength to various parts of the body, restoring balance, and enhancing limb function.

• Reduce need for surgery—since presurgical therapy increases motion

and reduces pain associated with various conditions, which may mean you opt out of surgery altogether.

Methodical effective therapy At FYZICAL, we look at the whole person. Before we can recommend any treatment, we evaluate posture, coordination of movement, ADLs, bending, lifting, and twisting, any existing pain, and how various physical systems coordinate. We examine the body comprehensively and use the information gathered to develop a treatment protocol that works. We also use the information to determine your optimal function the path you should follow to get there.

Best practices for better outcomes To ensure precision and consistency at FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Centers, we have looked at various approaches, and developed our own best practices and standards of care. In fact, we have a team of experts who study different conditions, research approaches, dig through data, and go into clinics to learn what they do. Using the latest information, we develop effective protocols, update our equipment, integrate new technologies and make our services as safe and effective as possible. For more information on how our physical therapy services can help you, visit the FYZICAL website.

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.

What is Value-based Care? … a healthcare delivery model in

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.

The main difference between Medicare Home Health and Private Pay Home is the funding source and eligibility criteria.

Medicare is government-funded and only available to eligible individuals based on specific criteria. Private Pay is paid for out-ofpocket or by Long Term Care Insurance by the person receiving care or their families. This care is accessible to anyone who can afford it.

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.

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

112 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – ANNUAL 2024

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 DEFINTIONS

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

Daily rates typically include a furnished bedroom & a private or shared bath, meals, activities, transportation, phone service, cable television and all personal/nursing care. Payor sources usually accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, VA, some insurance plans & private sources.

METHODS OF PAYMENT: Not all nursing homes accept all forms of payments. Furthermore, some nursing homes are limited in the number of beds available for a particular payment form.

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 stateadministered 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.

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.

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.

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY (OT): Assesses and treats small motor function. Utilizes rehabilitative techniques of exercise, splinting and assistive devices to increase the client’s

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

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.

ABOUT THE AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION Our Agency was statutorily created

by Chapter 20, Florida Statutes as the chief health policy and planning entity for the state. We are primarily responsible for the state’s estimated $25.2 billion Medicaid program that will serve a projected 4.27 million Floridians in SFY 2016-17, the licensure of the state’s 48,500 health care facilities and the sharing of health care data through the Florida Center for Health Information and Policy Analysis.

This year we are working to continue to reduce the number of uninsured across the state, to enhance our ability to target fraudulent providers, to reduce unnecessary regulation, and to reduce administrative costs in order to ensure that dollars go to serve patients and more. This site gives you access to

pull up records on every senior living community and home health agency.

It is crucial to investigate if whatever service you are looking for has had citations, if the citations have been remedied etc. This is the only site that can provide you this information in a completely unbiased format. https://www.floridahealthfinder.gov/ (888) 419-3456 WHAT WILL THE FLORIDAHEALTHFINDER.GOV WEBINAR COVER AND HOW DO I SIGN UP? The webinar is a FREE live virtual tour featuring the highlights of the FloridaHealthFinder.gov website.

There will also be a question and answer period, at the end, to address your personal needs or questions about this site. Webinars are offered in English or Spanish and will include a general overview of the website or they can be tailored specifically for the new patient data query tool.
