IF YOU DON'T GET A SECOND OPINION IT CAN COST upwards of $7000! We recently went on a call to someone’s home that was told by another ac company, they would need $7000 worth of ductwork as well as a new air-conditioning system. This was untrue. Our technicians diagnosed the problem was actually the drain and that part was still under warranty, saving the homeowner a huge bill. At Presto Air our goal is to do what’s best for our customers.’ We focus on our customer service because we know a happy customer will keep coming back and a dissatisfied customer will never call us again. We are in it for the long haul and are commit-

ted to our customers for a lifetime of service.

That's why it's so important to get a second opinion; any qualified air conditioning contractor should provide a free second opinion. Presto Air provides every air conditioning and heating customer with an outline of services provided along with an option to repair or replace, and a summary of the problems likely to arise with the unit within the next six month to year period, so you can make a truly informed decision. Routine maintenance can make a difference in the high cost of repair if you can fix it while it's a little problem instead of a major headache down the road.

Taylor Chiropractic & Oriental Medicine offers patients a multitude of natural healing modalities to best serve you! We offer a wide variety of services including: Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Massage Therapy, Nutritional Counseling, Oriental Medicine/Herbs, and Ionic Foot Detox.

Chiropractic care is the gentle manipulation of the spine and extremities. If the nervous system housed within the spinal cord is able to work fully without interference, then the body's ability to heal is improved. Communication between the organs of the body and brain are strengthened when those pathways are functioning properly, and the

individual is able to move more efficiently with better posture.

Acupuncture uses small sterile needles that are place in acupuncture points throughout the body.

Acupuncture improves the efficacy of some medications allowing patients to decrease their dosage of medications over time. Acupuncture also soothes the digestive process, alleviating the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion and heartburn. According to the American Cancer Society, it counteracts the side effects of radiation, such as nausea, dry mouth and neuropathy. The most well known benefit of acupuncture is the alleviation of pain from any area of the body.

Recognizing Self Neglect Among the Elderly tigate. Your confidential report can help save an elder’s life.

Self-neglect occurs when a vulnerable individual fails to provide themselves with whatever is necessary to prevent physical harm, emotional harm or pain resulting in the deterioration of their health, personal care or living situation. A vulnerable adult refers to a person age 18 or older whose ability to perform the normal activities of daily living, and/or to provide for his or her own care and protection is impaired.

If you know someone who is a victim on self-neglect, MAKE THE CALL TO THE ABUSE HOTLINE toll-free at 1800-962-2873 or the Helpline toll-free at 1-800-963-5337.

IN FLORIDA ELDER SELF-NEGLECT ACCOUNTS for the majority of cases reported to Adult Protective Services. From a legal standpoint, the issues involved in these scenarios are extensive and complicated. All citizens are mandatory reporters of any suspected elder abuse – self-inflicted or otherwise. Mandatory reporting means that anyone who knows, or has reasonable cause to suspect that a vulnerable adult has been or is being abused, neglected, or exploited shall immediately report such knowledge or suspicion to the Abuse Hotline toll-free at 800-96ABUSE (800-962-2873).

OFTEN, THE MAJOR TRANSITIONS THAT SENIORS FACE can cause conflict within the family.

There can be a myriad of concern.

All of these issues can lead to conflict that can last for years or result in litigation that costs the family dearly.

Critical decisions may be put on hold during the time of conflict. This is when the assistance of a professional mediator can help. An elder mediator is a trained neutral professional who facilitates the conversations that must occur to meet the needs and interest.

Elder Mediation is a voluntary process facilitated by a professional mediator with all interested parties invited to participate and given a

voice. It is private and completely confidential. The process is informal and can be held in a location that is comfortable for everyone involved.

Elder Mediation can address legal issues as well as non-legal issues such as Financial Management, Housing and living arrangements, Safety Concerns, Disputes among adult siblings and Healthcare planning & endof-life decisions. Elder mediation focuses on addressing the needs of the elder, the caregivers and the family members while avoiding costly attorney fees and stressful legal proceedings.

The NICHE Program at Venice Regional Bayfront Health 80 PERCENT OF PATIENTS AT OUR HOSPITAL THIS YEAR were 65 or older? That’s pretty remarkable, considering that the average age of hospital patients in the state of Florida is 54.

The acronym NICHE stands for Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders.

The goal of NICHE is to ensure that hospitals throughout the country operate in a seniorfriendly manner. They set standards for nurse training and the hospital’s environment and procedures to assure that the needs of geriatric patients are being served. Venice Regional meets all the standards.

For most hospitals that have earned a NICHE designation, it is almost always for a single department within their hospital. In our case, the entire hospital is NICHE-designated.”

To obtain a NICHE designation.

Every policy and procedure has to be examined. For example, we can’t have our floors too shiny. An elderly patient sees a shiny floor and thinks it’s slippery. That can cause a fall because the floor isn’t slippery, and light reflected off of a shiny floor can make it difficult for some elderly patients to see where they’re going. Beds need to be equip-

ped with weight-change alarms, to alert the nursing staff if a weak or disoriented patient who shouldn’t be out of bed suddenly decides to try. Video monitors may be needed to keep track of patient movements, to avoid their getting into trouble or rescue them if they do. But being senior-friendly goes way beyond a hospital’s facilities. Venice Regional Bayfront Health has 20 nurses who have been specially trained to be Geriatric Resource Nurses, helping other staff deal with the proper care of elders. Elders may have age-related changes in their skin, nutritional needs, sleep disorders, depression and the biggest of them all fall prevention.

“In addition to bed alarms and video monitors, many other steps must be taken to prevent falls.” Nurses must make frequent rounds with patients if they have had surgery, have an IV, are using a cane or walker, are not alert or have a history of falling.

They are assessed twice a day.

It’s not easy being a senior, and it’s not a piece of cake to take care of a senior either. So it’s nice to know that if you have to go to a hospital, it has a NICHE for you.

Trust Your Heart to Experience Bayfront Health serves the residents of Florida’s Gulf Coast with a regional network of seven hospitals stretching 150 miles along the I-75 corridor. With more than 6,000 medical professionals, patients are offered a broader range of services and experience than any one hospital could provide. “Within a two hour radius, we have a unified health system that reinforces the sharing of knowledge, clinical protocols, medical records and technology that result in better outcomes for our patients,� said Richard Satcher, Market Chief Executive Officer for Bayfront Health Charlotte County. “The creation of this unified health network presents a myriad of opportunities for our hospitals, dedicated staff and physicians, as well as multiple benefits for area residents.�

One such benefit is that Bayfront Health facilities feature regionally and nationally renowned cardiac and thoracic surgeons ready to coordinate with your primary doctor or cardiologist to deliver the expert care you need. With America’s number one killer being heart disease, you can rest assured knowing that two Accredited Chest Pain Centers are right here in Charlotte County: Bayfront Health Port Charlotte and Bayfront Health Punta Gorda.

The Southwest Florida Heart Center at Bayfront Health Port

Charlotte offers patients access to a comprehensive array of cardiac services. Moreover, it is recognized by the Society of Chest Pain Centers as an Accredited Chest Pain Center with PCI. This accreditation ensures that when a patient arrives at the hospital with chest pain or other symptoms of a heart attack, they will receive necessary and rapid treatment within the

" "" ' # " critical window of time when the heart muscle can best be preserved.

Featuring all private rooms, the 50,000 square foot cardiac center includes a cardiovascular intensive care unit, interventional cardiac cath unit, pre/post interventional cardiac holding unit, and 3-open heart surgery suites.

Bayfront Health Punta Gorda has served as the area’s heart center for over 20 years and offers a comprehensive heart and vascular rehabilitation program. This program combines education, support and exercise therapy so patients will learn how to incorporate heart-healthy habits such as a proper diet, exercise and stress management techniques that can lead to a better quality of life.

WENDY WICKS FOUNDED TLC SENIOR MOVE EXPERTSTM out of a desire to help seniors with the daunting tasks associated with the moving process. Having moved 15 times, she has a keen understanding of both the physical and emotional aspects of a move. In addition to her own moves, Wendy coordinated her mother’s move from her home in Florida to an assisted living facility in Massachusetts.

With a masters degree in counseling, Wendy can assist clients during the moving process to minimize stress. Her problem solving skills, along with her organizational and

people skills make the moving experience as successful and stress-free as possible. One client remarked, “When I prepared to downsize from my home of 37 years, I was totally overwhelmed.

Wendy offered to guide me through it. First she helped me to prioritize, declutter and decide what and to whom to give some of my belongings away. She then helped me pack while continuing the process of sorting and decluttering. I highly recommend TLC Senior Move Experts for any and all aspects of the moving process. She plans, she executes and she follows through always with a smile on her face.”

Florida’s 5-Step Guide to Senior Care FLORIDA'S 5-STEP GUIDE TO SENIOR CARE IS EVERYTHING family members need to know when caring for their aging parents or loved one. Our easy to follow senior care guide helps educate families about the different care options available so that they can make informed decisions when choosing a senior care provider.

Whether a family is looking for an assisted living facility, elder law attorney, or home care agency; we help them navigate the complex web of services. Our senior care guide takes the confusion out of the process by giving families and caregivers a road map to follow when caring for a love one.

It often takes a while for friends and family members to realize that an

aging loved one is in need of additional care. The changes are usually slow, and the assumption is usually that everything is “still okay.” But, many times that is not the case. For example, a daughter calls her mother and notices that her mother is stumbling over the names of her grandchildren, or a son pays a visit and sees a pile of unopened mail and unpaid bills on the dining room table.

By using the five-step guide in conjunction with the information available on SeniorSource.com, family members can find the help they need and make the decisions that will best support their loved ones needs.

Need help finding senior care? Visit SeniorSource.com or call (888) 373-7614 today!

Senior Housing - Definitions

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS 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.

ANYTIME DINING: Many CCRC’s and Independent Living communities offer anytime dining which gives you the freedom to enjoy your meals at times that are convenient for you.

ASSISTED LIVING: Florida providers must be licensed with a Standard Assisted Living Facility License. Two additional licenses: the Limited Nursing Service (LNS) and the Extended Congregate Care (ECC) allow providers to deliver some skilled nursing services and more personal care. Communities are typically apartment-style with kitchenettes and private baths. Some offer companion accommodations.

Amenities vary. Services include meal plans, cable television, local phone, housekeeping, laundry, maintenance and transportation. Also provided is personal assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) b Payor sources usually accepted are private pay, and some insurance.

LNS “LIMITED NURSING SERVICES”: Licensure that allows some nursing services to be administered to patients to maintain agin in place.

ECC “EXTENDED CONGREGATE CARE”: The purpose of such license is to enable residents to age in place in a residential environment despite mental or physical limitations that might otherwise disqualify them from residency in a facility licensed under this part.

INDEPENDENT LIVING: Housing designed specifically for the elderly. Typically Studio, 1 BR or 2 BR rental apartments with full kitchens, and private baths. Services include meal plans, transportation, wellness clinics, housekeeping, laundry and maintenance. These communities are NOT licensed to provide personal/nursing care.

LIFECARE: Some CCRC’s offer Lifecare contracts that provide assurance that future health care needs will be met over one’s life-time at predictable and manageable costs.

106 • Please mention the Seniors Blue Book when you call our advertisers.

nity-based services to people who would qualify for Medicaid nursing home placement. This includes Long-term care services and Medicaid-covered medical services.

MANAGED CARE: Any system that manages health care delivery that acts as a gatekeeper for other services, such as specialized medical care, surgery, and physical therapy.

MEMORY CARE These communities are either licensed assisted living facilities that specialize in delivering care to victims of dementia or a unit of a skilled nursing facility. The same licensure rules apply. Communities are typically bedroom-style rental units with common areas for dining and activities. Many are locked for residents’ safety. Staff is usually specially trained for the special needs of this population. Amenities vary. Services include meal plans, cable television, local phone calls, housekeeping, laundry maintenance and transportation. Personal assistance with ADLs available.

Rates also vary from all-inclusive to base rates with levels of care/point system for care.

MEDICAID WAIVER Waivers are state specific Medicaid programs that allow for services to be provided outside of nursing homes. A very important distinction between nursing home Medicaid and waivers is that nursing home Medicaid is considered an entitlement while waivers are not. Entitlement, in this situation means that if one meets the eligibility requirements, then they are entitled to receive benefits.

With waivers, one might meet the eligibility requirements however the waivers may only be available to a certain number of individuals and therefore the person may be put on a waiting list to receive benefits. They are not immediately entitled to those benefits.

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 SKILLED NNURSING FACILITY (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.

STATEWIDE MEDICAID MANAGED CARE (SMMC): Long-term Care Program. There are two different programs that make up the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care: The Long-term Care (LTC) and Managed Care Program (MMA).Medicaid recipients who qualify and become enrolled in the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care -look for article pages 148-149. = Web Link on www.SeniorsBlueBook.com • July - December 2014 • 107

WILLIAM CHUPKA AND WIFE DEBORAH OF 32 YEARS HAVE much for which they are thankful.

William has enjoyed a successful business career for 41 years, and now is able to enjoy his retirement in beautiful Placida Florida, where they can enjoy going to the beach, collecting shells, creating shell art, cooking together, and dining at all the wonderful restaurants this area has to offer.

“Especially the Pink which is owned by the Gasparilla Inn and on Boca Grande, William Chimed in.”

They have a beautiful daughter they adopted from the Philippines, and truly enjoy doing everything together as a couple. When Bill’s sister passed she resided in Placida: accordingly they decided to come down and make her house their new Florida home. Recently, Deborah experienced a health scare that required immediate attention. They were directed to the Englewood Community Hospital Emergency Room.

“From the moment we walked in the receptionist was attentive, asked if there were any chest pains, and said she would be right with us, and she was.

Deborah unfortunately has had a myriad of healthcare issues over the years and unfortunately they have experienced many Emergency Rooms in their time. None of which can come close to the wonderful experience they shared

at Englewood Community Hospital.

In the meantime the attending physician Dr. Karen Roe wasted no time and introduced herself, and said she would be over-seeing all of the procedures.

Taken immediately in the back the Nurse Physician Assistant came in, assessed Deborah’s condition, and ruled out the condition we feared most, a stroke. Of course, blood was taken, a brain scan, and a lung scan as well. I asked how long it would take for the results to come back and she said about an hour. I don’t think it took a moment longer. This is generally not been our experience in many other ER’s we have been to in other areas, Bill explained.

Fortunately, everything came back normal to our great relief. From the wonderful CNA’s that drew blood, did the EKG, took her down for the scans, to the head doc in charge the entire staff was absolutely wonderful!”

“The whole visit was 2 hours from start to finish, and the test results were returned in one hour. After experiencing a health scare like so many others, The Chupka’s are forever grateful for the service they received at Englewood Community Hospital. It’s a small hospital with a huge heart!

The Chupka’s say they can relax and enjoy their Florida Lifestyle knowing that top notch medical care is just up the road from their home.

For Bar of fun activities and events that attracted her to Aston Gardens At The Courtyards.

“There’s something going on all the time, like water aerobics that I do twice a week,” she said. “And once a month we go on a mystery trip – they don’t tell us where we’re going. It’s so much fun just speculating how our day will unfold.”

For Connie Berry at Aston Gardens At Sun City Center, it was the prospect of great care and good neighbors that helped her make the decision to move into Aston Gardens.

“The staff is very helpful and friendly,” she said. “Plus, we have made very good friends.

I know I have made the right decision moving here.”

Don and Roberta Fuller also knew they made the right choice when they selected their apartment home at Aston Gardens At Pelican Pointe in 2013.

“It was the right move, at the right time, to the right place,” Don said. “We found our new beginning here and absolutely love it! ” There are so many other reasons why Aston Gardens is the area’s top choice for smart seniors.

Assisted Living/Memory Care Communities

Autumn of Sarasota: A New World of Memory Care AUTUMN OF SARASOTA OPENED ITS DOORS THIS SUMMER and has already changed the world of memory care. Designed in cooperation with the USF Health Byrd Alzheimer’s Institute – a leader in dementia research – Autumn promotes the benefits of nutrition, families, interaction and the freedom to explore. This philosophy of healthy living is backed by the absolute latest technologies for resident safety and comfort.

Smart Living at Autumn Safety at Autumn begins with the “Smart Door” system. Each resident’s door knows who should enter. If a resident goes to their correct room, the door automatically unlocks.

Smart living continues with wireless eMAR (Electronic Medication Administration Record) bar code technology to record, monitor, and ensure correct medication and dosage. Bosch emergency call systems are also on hand, allowing residents to call for help with just the push of a button.

Special Considerations for Memory Care From no-threshold entries and neutral interior décor to natural ambient lighting and rounded corners, the state-of-the-art campus is brimming with features that keep memory care residents from becoming disoriented.

Plus, Autumn is fully staffed with professionals who are specifically trained

to work with people suffering from dementia. This experience goes a long way to enhance the resident’s life.

Neighborhood Lifestyles Autumn of Sarasota has four distinct neighborhoods with just 20 residents living in each one. These neighborhoods encourage residents to interact with neighbors and friends.

Strolling along the hallways feels like a walk through a safe, friendly community. Each private “home” has an entryway reminiscent of a front porch, complete with a white railing, a sitting area, and a mailbox for daily letters and correspondence.

A Focus on Personal Choices Residents can spend quiet afternoons by therapeutic gardens, sip a refreshing beverage at the Mediterranean juice bar, enjoy a wealth of luxurious amenities, or visit with friends in a number of common areas. Autumn also offers engaging learning opportunities, with art classes, cooking demonstrations and more.

From a delectable assortment of nutritious gourmet dining choices 24 hours a day, to the exciting daily activities and full calendar of events, residents of Autumn have an exciting world of options to pursue as they wish.

EDITOR’S NOTE: For more information on Autumn of Sarasota, you can visit AutumnOfSarasota.com or call 941.444.9398 to schedule a private tour.

What’s New at Jacaranda Trace?

JACARANDA TRACE HAS BEEN voted the Best Retirement Community in Venice and the accolades keep pouring in for Jacaranda Trace.

Both the Gondolier and Herald Tribune have voted our Community number one for both independant and assisted living for many years.

When you visit Jacaranda Trace, you will find out how we bring a great new style to retirement living. Our luxurious community, first-class amenities, and professional services make residents feel like they are on a cruise ship every day. With gourmet meals, transportation, a full-calendar of activities and our on-site wellness program you can enjoy a carefree lifestyle.

Pathways at Jacaranda Trace Memory Care will be opening this fall with a goal of helping each resident achieve a daily victory in spite of personal obstacles.

The new design concept creates a "home" for residents with its own kitchen, living room and 18 private rooms in a secure neighborhood.

Residents live in a family style environment with the freedom to safely and securely explore the neighborhood and interact with their neighbors.

Quality professional care is available from a registered nurse who evaluates the cognitive and physical condition of each resident and then develops and reviews their progress plan. Pathways at Jacaranda Trace Memory Care is committed to assisting residents so that they can live their lives as independently as possible and is designed to provide

meaningful activities throughout their day. Daily activities create an atmosphere where each resident achieves a personal victory. By engaging each res-

ident into the day to day operation of the community, we believe this will maximize the potential for each person to enjoy their life with meaning and purpose.

The accolades keep pouring in for Jacaranda Trace. From 2011 to 2013, readers of the Venice Gondolier Sun and the Herald Tribune have voted our community the Best Retirement Community and the Inn at Jacaranda Trace the best small Assisted Living community.

When you visit Jacaranda Trace, you will find out how we bring a great new style to retirement living. Our luxurious community, first-class amenities, and professional services make residents feel like they are on a cruise ship every day. With gourmet meals, transportation, a full-calendar of activities and our on-site wellness program you can enjoy a carefree lifestyle.

Accelerating Solutions for Positive Aging THE INSTITUTE FOR THE AGES, a 501(c)3, was formed in 2011 and is based in Sarasota County, the oldest large county in the US. As you probably already know, Sarasota County is home to the highest concentration (32.5%) of people over the age of 65, more than double the percentage of older adults in the United States. This difference is even more profound in the number of individuals 85 years of age and older – 5% in Sarasota County compared with approximately 2% nationwide.

We are an education and research center focused on accelerating solutions to enhance the quality of life for older adults. Our purpose is two-fold – to improve lives by influencing innovations for positive aging and to drive economic growth by facilitating research and development. Our mission is to transform aging through the authentic voice of the older adult.

We have a fast-growing 50+ Community Research Network – residents who have volunteered to participate in research to support our mission and have their voices heard.

Your experience and wisdom helps researchers, product and service developers, and policy makers obtain the necessary insights and data to accelerate solutions in such areas as: health and wellness, communication and information, respect and social inclusion, transportation and mobili-

ty, aging in (the right) place and meaningful involvement.

Your insights and the work being done by the Institute for the Ages has the potential to change the conversation about aging and influence positive future outcomes for people of all

ages. Do you want to be a part of this dynamic vision and work?

As a member of the 50+ Community Research Network, you may be asked for your opinions in surveys or focus groups, to participate in research studies or try new products and services. You may also receive information about events, seminars, training and other valuable resources based on your interests. You will receive periodic emails from the Institute for the Ages to make sure your information stays current and valid.

Be assured the information you provide is held in strict confidence and will not be shared without your permission. You may enroll in the 50+ Community Research Network at our website at: www.institutefortheges.org or contact Joan Haber at jhaber@institutefortheages.org or call 941.365.4243 if you would like to have the enrollment form mailed to you electronically or by US mail.

Thank you.
