DEAR SENIORS, PROFESSIONALS AND FRIENDS: Thank you so much for picking up the Annual 2025 edition of the Seniors Blue Book! We value and welcome your feedback, and hope you enjoy this edition!

At Seniors Blue Book, we pride ourselves on compiling a complete book of resources for seniors, their caregivers, family members, and our respected senior industry professionals. Our goal is to educate and provide helpful resources to the community and that includes getting this guide into the hands of all who need it! As always, we ask that you please tell our supporting partners that you heard of them from the Seniors Blue Book, so that we can continue to bring you this valuable resource guide FOR FREE! You can find our books at any Walgreens, senior gathering places, doctors’ offices, or call us directly at (941) 351-3630 to get a free copy mailed directly to you.

At Seniors Blue Book, we feel Knowledge is Power and our goal is to provide you to be pro-active vs reactive when it comes to crafting a plan for aging well. We do this by providing consistent education, whether that be in person at one of our SBB University programs, on our digital article library which hosts thousands of educational editorials at seniorsbluebook. com/articles, or even on our local Facebook page at Facebook.com/ SeniorsBlueBookMSC. Additionally, we encourage you to

browse our new and improved website at SBBMSC.com to continue your search for local resources for aging well, articles/ videos as well as local community events and even available jobs. We also invite you to subscribe to our monthly newsletter by e-mailing samantha@ seniorsbluebook.com.

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

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

We are always just a call away, so feel free to contact us directly if you need further assistance and we can help guide you in the right way. We encourage you to save our direct number (941) 3513630, so that we are always there for you when you need us most!

A common misconception is that having a Last Will and Testament ensures assets avoid probate entirely.

However, this isn’t entirely accurate.

A Will serves as instructions for how your assets should be distributed after your death and designates a Personal Representative to oversee this distribution. Depending on the nature of your assets, not all will be governed by your Will, and some will still need to go through probate to be transferred to your beneficiaries. For instance, assets like bank accounts with joint owners or designated beneficiaries will

automatically pass to those individuals, and not to those named in your Will.

Similarly, real estate may require probate in order to transfer ownership as directed in the Will. Another circumstance that could impact distribution involves joint owners or specific legal factors such as marriage or minor children, which might disrupt your intended distribution plan.

Seeking advice from an attorney can help ensure your wishes are executed correctly.

Ho Ho Buys Cars

In the landscape of aging populations, the challenges of transitioning out of driving are profound and often emotional.

For Howard Horowitz, founder of HO HO BUYS CARS, this realization dawned after decades in the automotive industry.

What began as a humble start—selling cars from his driveway—evolved into a comprehensive service catering not just to the transactional needs of selling vehicles but to the deeper, personal aspects of life transitions, particularly for seniors; for a Fast, Easy & Safe Transaction.

“Opening HO HO BUYS CARS seven years ago was a natural progression,” Howard reflects. “We started receiving calls from families and professionals seeking help with vehicle sales in estate situations. It became clear that our senior community needed a trusted, compassionate option during this sensitive phase of life.”

What sets Howard’s service apart is not just the efficiency of handling paperwork or providing immediate payment in certified funds— it’s the personal touch. “We go beyond the transaction,” Howard emphasizes.

“It’s about transparency, safety, and ensuring integrity in every interaction.

“We go beyond the transaction,” Howard emphasizes.

“It’s about transparency, safety, and ensuring integrity in every interaction.

With over 35 years of experience, Howard has seen the evolution of car sales from local auctions to managing a company that buys and sells thousands of vehicles annually. However, it was through direct interactions with attorneys, realtors, and families facing estate matters that he recognized a gap in the market: a lack of empathetic, straightforward solutions for seniors transitioning away from driving, having that extra vehicle that is no longer needed, or finding someone to be able to deal with complex transactions.

Our flexible appointments and willingness to come directly to seniors in assisted living facilities reflect our commitment to making this process as stress-free as possible.” He literally comes right to your door, dealing directly with the Owner.

This dedication has earned the company over 400 Five (5) Star Google Reviews and a A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau, reflecting the trust and respect they’ve garnered in the community.

HOW TO KNOW WHEN IT’S TIME TO MOVE YOUR PARENTS TO SENIOR MASTERLIVING PAGE

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

How to Know When It’s Time to Move Your Parents to Senior Living Unfortunately, in our society people often don’t want to address the challenges of aging until they absolutely have to. At Oasis Senior Advisors, we strongly advise you to be proactive, not reactive.

So how do you know when it’s time to act? Aging seniors tend to wear their pride on their sleeve, and they’ll do whatever they can to hide their frailties with you. Pay close attention when you talk to them or visit. Here are some signs that it’s time to consider bringing in home health care or looking at senior living communities: • Isolation causing loneliness and possibly depression. Studies have shown that socialization and mental stimulation are key components to healthy aging. Moving to a senior living community is usually the best solution so they can make friends, socialize during meals, participate in activities with little effort, and become part of a community.

• Loss of driver’s license. This is such a difficult subject to broach, even when we know our loved one is not only endangering herself, but also the other drivers on the road. It becomes much easier to ask them to stop driving if you can offer a viable solution such as having a caregiver who drives or moving to a senior living community that provides transportation.

• Frequent falls. When an older adult falls, it can often mark the beginning of a great decline in physical condition and health status. Please do everything in your power to obtain assistance in the home or move them to a senior living community before a life changing fall happens!

• Drastic weight loss. Malnutrition in older adults often happens when he or she can no longer shop and/or prepare meals adequately.

• Increased forgetfulness or confusion.

This is when it becomes critical to have a caregiver looking out for your loved one, either in the home or at a senior living community.

• You are spending an inordinate amount of time caring for your loved one. You might be going to their home to help them bathe, get dressed, or even use the toilet. It’s very stressful to have to give up so much of your own time, and it puts your loved ones in a situation that is often uncomfortable since your parent/child roles are now being reversed. It’s healthier to have a hired caregiver–either in the home or at a senior living community–performing these duties. This allows you to resume your role as the child or other caring relative.

Remember you don’t have to go it alone. There are plenty of local resources including a network of Certified Senor Advisors® (CSAs ) such as myself who are here to help.

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

Platinum Benefit Services: Your Trusted Professionals for Florida Long Term Care Benefits Platinum Benefit Services specializes in obtaining Long Term Care Medicaid and Veteran Aid and Attendance benefits for those who seek financial assistance for home health aide, assisted living arrangements or long term nursing home care.

Platinum originated in 2000. Over the years Platinum has helped more than 16,000 (as of 2024) families qualify for Medicaid benefits and saved those families billions of dollars in assets.

Florida has a unique set of rules and regulations when it comes to Long Term Care Medicaid. Knowing the benefit

programs inside out, understanding how programs interplay with each other, and merging those benefits with federally available programs, like Veterans’ benefits, is a specialty that few companies or legal professionals understand.

At Platinum, we offer families a free in person consultation to review all the different benefit qualifiers to determine the best solution for your family’s situation.

We understand this process can be extremely difficult and overwhelming, but we are here to help! We hope Platinum Benefit Services will be your Long-Term Care Benefits Professional Service.

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

People on the Florida Gulf Coast are Switching to Value-Based Care and Never Looking Back.

Adults ages 60+ are looking for a more caring approach to primary care.

Ever wonder why some doctors spend so little time with their patients?

Healthcare companies often charge a fee for each service. This puts a lot of pressure on doctors to see as many patients as possible.

Primary care at ArchWell Health is different.

Ever since we opened centers in neighborhoods throughout the Florida Gulf Coast, people have been making the move to our unique communitycentric brand of primary care.

Because of our value-based care approach, our doctors get paid to keep a smaller number of patients healthier.

SKR Home and Health Care Solutions was created out of this premise.

Founded in 2010, SKR’s attention to detail, individualized care planning, and the ability to be creative in solutions for clients, has created a niche that is different than our competition. SKR is a private pay concierge service that, in your home, includes skilled nursing care, post-op and pre-op, IV Hydration and IV antibiotics per doctors’ orders, and overnight care of patients of plastic surgeons after surgery. SKR is

proud to also offer services for mental health. We offer non-medical services like traditional companion and respite care. The word SOLUTIONS in SKR’s name was by design. When you call, Susan answers and designs a care plan for your needs. SKR’s success is its unrelenting effort to have all clients cared for as though they were family of SKR’s leadership.

Testimonial “On behalf of my entire family, I can’t tell you how grateful we are for the support you gave us during my dad’s final months. Your service was remarkable. It was a huge relief to know we had such kind and capable support for both my parents. I can’t thank you enough.” - Nursing Client

MASTER SKR HOME PAGE & HEALTH CARE SOLUTIONS

SKR Home & Health Care Solutions “When my father died suddenly at age 58, my life changed forever. I vowed to myself that day that I would try to assist people that could be in the same situation or have a similar experience.”

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.

SENIOR HOUSING - INDEPENDENT LIVINGMASTER DEFINITIONS PAGE

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

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 “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 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 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.

LIVE THE LIFE MASTER YOU DESERVE PAGE

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.

In 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 emphasize providing its residents

ASSISTED LIVINGMASTER DEFINITIONS PAGE

ASSISTED LIVING DEFINITIONS WHAT ARE ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES? Assisted living provides a combination of housing, personal care services, and health care designed to respond to individuals who need assistance with normal daily activities in a way that promotes maximum independence. Services include, but are not limited to: • Nutritional meals and special diets • Supervision and assistance with personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, transfers, and eating) • Health monitoring • Assistance with self-administration of medications • Arrange for health care and mental health services • Provide or arrange for transportation to medical appointments • Housekeeping and Laundry services • Daily social and leisure activities • Supervise residents with dementia and/or cognitive impairments • Provide or arrange for rehabilitative services • Provide escort services to medical appointments • Educational programs to promote health and prevent illness

TYPES OF ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY LICENSES: There are four 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 four 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 same services as a Standard License 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. LNS services include but are not limited to: • Nursing assessments • Administration of medications • Measurement and recording of vital signs and weight • Dietary management, including special diets, monitoring nutrition, food, and fluid intake

136 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – ANNUAL 2025

EXTENDED CONGREGATE CARE (ECC) LICENSE: An assisted living community with an ECC license allows a resident to age in place. In addition to LNS services, ECC communitites provide: • Total help with bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting • Assistance with (non-nasogastric) tube feeding LIMITED MENTAL HEALTH LICENSE: An assisted living community that serves three or more mental health residents. The basic services of assisted living are provided to the resident. In addition to these services, LMH license provides mental heatlh services to support the individual.

MEMORY CARE: These are licensed assisted living communities that specialize in delivering care to residents suffering from a cognitive impairment. These include but are not limited to: mild cognitive impairment, dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Communities are secure for residents’ safety and provide 24-hour supervised care. The same license rules apply as assisted living. Staff members are trained for the special needs of this population.

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.

MASTER PAGE ASSISTED LIVING DEFINITIONS

• Diabetes management, oxygen administration, and wound care

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.

ASSISTED LIVING MEDICAID WAIVER The waiver is available to people who are 60 or older who qualify for Medicaid and are eligible under SSI, MEDS-AD, or ICP. The waiver program does not cover the entire bill in a assisted living community.

146 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – ANNUAL 2025

This 7,000 square foot assisted living care home was designed in 1994 to care for 16 residents in a comfortable homey atmosphere.

Our priority is to honor our resident’s dignity, independence, and choice by providing loving, caring and personal attention allowing them to age in place without fear of being forced into a commercialized or institutional setting.

Because we are not corporately owned, you can expect a personalized experience. The entrances are secured by a coded access system to provide as safe an environment as possible.

Throughout our large, residential home you will find several comfortable sitting areas, a lovely dining room and

charming fireplace. Residents enjoy a screened front porch, private fenced courtyard and over two acres of gardens and trees that are filled with birds and butterflies visiting our tropical flowers. Families are always welcome and encouraged to visit.

Inglenook is proud to have received the “Best of Englewood Reader’s Choice Award” from the Englewood Sun Herald.

Inglenook’s owners are a married couple who are both registered nurses and live onsite with their residents, providing the most intimate loving care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

WHAT DOES MEMORY CARE LOOK LIKE AT THE RANCH ASSISTED LIVING MASTER FACILITY? PAGE

What Does Memory Care Look Like at The Ranch Assisted Living Facility?

Memory Care is specialized care provided within a licensed Assisted Living Facility.

Memory Care is designed to assist people living with the challenges of Alzheimer and other forms of dementia.

Programs and activities are tailored to each person’s interest and to help promote independence and cognitive abilities while enjoying individual passions and hobbies.

The Ranch Assisted Living Facility provides a sheltered and secure community that provides peace of mind to families and freedom of movement within the facility and its grounds.

Consistency of staff and familiar surroundings are necessary to provide our residents with the sense of security and family that they need to thrive in their living environment.

Our staff receives ongoing specialized dementia training that helps them focus on getting to know our residents and their families and enable them to create a sense of family and comfort so that the resident can thrive. This familiarity helps our staff anticipate their individual needs and address any health or cognitive concerns as they arise.

Editor’s Note: For more information on The Ranch Assisted Living Facility and our tailored approach to memory care please contact Melissa Bongart at 941-504-9412

SKILLED NURSINGMASTER DEFINITIONS PAGE

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.

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.

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?
