Now “State-of-the-Art” Dental Implants ARE YOU LOOKING TO REPLACE ONE OR MORE MISSING TEETH? Currently, dental implants are the highest quality option available.

Complete success of a dental implant depends on expert surgical precision and accurate dental restoration. At Pelican Landing Dental, we can offer our patients the best of both-which means your restored dental implants will not only function like teeth but look great too. We take the time to explain all possible treatment options and outcomes, address all concerns and work with our patients to achieve their dental goals. Dr. Lacy Gilbert is a skilled implant surgeon who has completed extensive training earning a Fellowship in Implantology. With the aid of our 3D cone beam CT scanner and sterile techniques we can assure that our implant placements are safe and comfortable. Please continue to read on for a detailed explanation of dental implants.

What is a dental implant? A dental implant is an excellent treatment for replacing missing teeth. The implants themselves are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. Bone forms tightly around the implant creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.

Implants: When you need to replace missing teeth, you want something that is going to look and feel as much like your natural teeth as possible. Dental implants represent the state-of-the-art

in dental technology, making it possible to restore your smile to its natural state. Dental implants are the only solution that replaces the missing tooth while preserving and promoting healthy bone. If you prefer not to have a partial denture or bridge attached to adjacent teeth, you might consider a dental implant.

Diagnosis of Implants: Depending on the situation, placing an implant invol-ves several phases, and treatment times can widely vary. First we determine if an implant is right for you. We discuss your health history and treatment goals and perform a comprehensive examination to check the health of your gums and jawbone.

We determine if you need any additional procedures, such as bone grafting or gum surgery. Our greatest aid in the treatment planning process is the 3D cone beam CT scan, which gives us information such as bone width and location of vital structures.

Benefits of Implants: Dental implants transmit chewing forces to the jaw, stimulating it and halting the bone loss associated with missing teeth. Conventional treatment options do not offer this important benefit. Unlike conventional crown and bridge tooth replacement, dental implants do not require the preparation of healthy teeth for abutments. Implants restore the ability to chew properly, allowing a complete and healthy diet.

QMB - The Magic Bullet for the Right Person MOST PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH MEDICARE’S COVERAGE of the various medical needs, including hospitals, doctors, durable medical goods, and prescription drugs. Most people are also aware that Medicare has annual deductibles and only pays 80 percent of the medical expense.

This means that the individual pays the remaining 20% of their medical care. People can buy supplemental insurance to cover the deductibles and the 20% co-pay. This insurance is often several hundred dollars a month, but can be well worth it. For many, the cost of this supplemental insurance or medigap insurance is unaffordable. An alternative…QMB, which stands for Qualified Medicare Beneficiary, is a Medicaid program that will pay for the deductibles and 20% coinsurance that remains from Medicare’s assistance.

QMB is only available to people who have assets below $7,160 and gross monthly income below $973 (2014).

What about the larger group of people that have more assets or slightly too much income to qualify for QMB, but are still unable to pay for supplemental insurance or the 20% cost of their medical care? One solution is to use something called a “Pooled Trust.” The concept is if your income is over the limit of $973 for QMB, you can run part of your income each month through the Pooled Trust, thereby qualifying for QMB. This means that QMB will pay for your Medicare Part B premium, putting an extra $104 a

month back in your pocket, as well as paying for all the 20% co-pays associated with your medical care. “Wait a minute,” you say, “I need that income to live on.” The good news is that

whatever income you run through the Pooled Trust can then be utilized by that Trust to pay your bills directly.

This works well by identifying one or two significant bills that the Pooled Trust will pay each month directly for you with your income. The Pooled Trust has a fee for use of its services, but that is typically $100 a month, which you just saved and received an extra $104 a month from your Social Security by not having to pay the Medicare Part B premium.

It is important to note that not all physicians will accept QMB as a payment source to cover your 20%. You can contact AGED at www.TrustAGED.org for more information on utilizing the Pooled Trust to get the QMB benefit, or contact your local Elder Law attorney to review whether this option is right for you.

As life happens we tend to let these problems linger and that is when they get worse. Many people allow it to get so bad to the no point of no return and are faced with the inevitable, surgery.

There are other options that individuals should consider. We here at the Back Pain Institute of Fort Myers having treated patients from all over the world with Vertebral Axial Decompression (VAX-D). Our clinic was founded in 2002 and has helped to heal thousands of patients since we opened our doors. VAX-D is a nonsurgical treatment that has been proven to be successful in patients with back pain caused by herniated, bulging and degenerative discs. This treatment has received FDA approval to heal a disc which allows peace of mind for most people. A lot of patients prefer avoiding going under the knife if possible. This treatment doesn’t use any drugs or injections but rather utilizes a natural approach.

VAX-D is a table like device that

applies a distractive force to the lumbar or cervical spine, controlling the procedure via computer technology.

The technology is designed to avoid stimulation of the proprioceptors that can cause muscle guarding.

In a 2005 Landmark Study, VAX-D was confirmed to be one of the most effective treatments for lower back pain. More specifically, the study showed that the treatment was 88.8% successful in the 430 patients that were studied.

Moreover, general chiropractic care has significant health benefits for most people. Most people seek out the care of chiropractors after they’ve been in an accident or a fall that causes back or neck pain but it is important to see a chiropractor for preventative measures. More and more individuals are realizing that chiropractic medicine has many other applications such as alleviating headaches, sinuses and arthritic pain.

Our physicians have over 50 years experience.

to Your CPAP Oral appliance as an FDA approved alternative to the CPAP

People with cardiovascular problems, such as high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and stroke have a high prevalence of sleep apnea.

The term “apnea” means “no breath”. For some people, the relaxation of the muscles during sleep allows the base of the tongue to fall backward against the throat, which can constrict the airway. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the complete stoppage of breathing for short intervals due to this constriction of the upper-air-way. Thus, oxygen is cut off from the lungs resulting in a significant oxygen deficit in the blood stream. This decrease in available oxygen to the body triggers a “flight-or-flight” response dramatically increasing heart rate and blood pressure. These two actions over time cause hypertension and wear out the heart - leading to Congestive Heat failure and even death!

Snoring is also produced by constriction of the upper airway and often occurs intermittently with apnea.

Fortunately, a small custom fabricated dental appliance can be equally as effective as a CPAP and much less intrusive. These FDA approved devices treat OSA by positioning the lower jaw forward keeping the airway open thus allowing the patient to breathe easily and continuously. Therefore, oral appliances are also very effective at reducing or even eliminating snoring.

Dr. Rich Gilbert is well versed in all the different sleep apnea oral appliances available. After a brief consultation, Dr. Gilbert will explain which type of oral appliance will best suit you and why. All of Pelican Landing Dental’s oral appliances are completely custom fabricated from molds of your mouth and are thereby effective and easy to wear. Most find it typically only takes a few nights to get used to wearing. Soon, you won’t ever want to sleep without it.

“I came to Pelican Landing Dental because I have sleep apnea and the CPAP machine didn’t work well for me. Dr. Rich Gilbert did impressions and had an apnea guard made for me. The apnea guard is much more comfortable and effective than the CPAP! It is also much easier to use and more convenient for travel. Dr. Gilbert and the staff have been very friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend!” –Robin S.

THE LATEST FINDINGS ON THE CONNECTION BETWEEN Hearing Loss and Cognitive Function!

Does your loved one forget items that you know you’ve discussed with them, or is it possible that they didn’t actually hear the message correctly? New research shows that hearing loss contributes to cognitive problems!

Johns Hopkins and the National Institute on Aging that finds that “Men and Women with Hearing Loss are much more likely to develop Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease!”

The report states that “Even mild Hearing Loss DOUBLED the Dementia risk and severe hearing loss, the study reports, makes people five times more likely to develop dementia than those with normal hearing.

“If you are over the age of fifty you should have a Baseline Hearing Test, especially if you have noticed ANY signs of forgetfulness”, states John Hoglund BC-HIS, ACA of Hoglund Family Hearing and Audiology Center. “These tests are provided as a FREE public service by our Practice to increasing knowledge and awareness of hearing related issues.”We can also arrange for FREE MEMORY SCREENINGS for those who wish more in depth testing. Please call our Practice to arrange a complimentary consultation to learn more about the research findings.”All it will COST is a little of your TIME…but the KNOW-LEDGE you receive may be PRICELESS!” www.HoglundFamilyHearing.com/ dementia-and-hearing-loss

Asset Protection & Eldercare Planning THE AVERAGE PERSON DOES NOT KNOW THE AVAILABLE programs to assist with long-term care expenses. Additionally, qualifications for these programs can be confusing.

Most people have paid taxes and have been responsible. The goal is to leave a nest-egg for their loved ones, instead of becoming impoverished in their final years; due to the high cost of long-term care. The good news, there are companies out there who can help! To qualify for Medicaid, the rules are specific. These companies have the knowledge of the tools required to protect your assets. These tools may include proper investment in "protected assets," certain trusts and annuities. Your advisor should recommend only the best products or tools for each your unique situation and goals.

There is assistance for families whose assets or income exceed the guidelines for long-term care Medicaid or VA benefits this takes in depth planning, so you can protect your hard earned assets and realize your dreams. If you are without a sufficient long-term care policy, the cost of receiving long-term care services can quickly deplete families of literally all of their assets. You can avoid this

eventuality with proper guidance and planning. You can manage the cost of receiving long-term care, without losing your Estate.

Whether you are pre-planning for Medicaid (5yrs or more), Imminent planning (will require service in the near future) or Crisis Planning (already spending down), There are ways to protect your assets.

The goal should be to not simply submit your application for assistance; but to aim to improve your situation.

There are resource teams of attorneys and tax planners available, to prepare you for a more secured future. Any reputable firm should offer a free consultation meeting, to determine your goals and develop a plan of action to help you begin protecting your assets in preparation for a successful Medicaid application; or other assistance programs.

Moving – It Can Be Stress Free

Acology Pharmacy: We Love Technology AT ACOLOGY PHARMACY, WE LOVE TECHNOLOGY. Technology has progressed over the years for the better. We all would love to upgrade to the newest gadget that has been released to keep up with our fastpaced society with smartphones and having all types of information right in our hands.

PASS packaging is the lastest technology in medication administration. This newest medication packaging has been making blister cards and/or bubble packaging a thing of the past. A morning dose could easily take 4 to 10 blister cards taking up space per patient, not to mention, hoping the medication doesn’t break in half or crumble when being punched out of the blister. We know extended-release medications cannot be consumed that way. Some facilities still hesitate and claim, “It works" but so does the vinyl record player. Itunes and mp3 players are far more superior making it so much more accessible with, literally, a touch of a finger. Microwaves help in the heating of our lunches, in our modern world, so that we may have a warm meal at work. We used to make ice cubes but we now have ice makers. This is innovation. Making it finer. Making it exceptional. We all want the upgrades if we could own it and at Acology Pharmacy, we are excited to say that we have it!

Pass packaging is just that and for

facilities, it is surpassing the way of packaging in medication administration. It saves space. It saves time. Blister cards are antiquated having to push tablets or capsules through a foil.

Weekly pill boxes are accidents just waiting to happen providing doubt as to whether or not all meds are being taken. We have the most unique Medication Administration Records making neatness and organization easy in your facility. Our MARS have color images of each medication for added confidence and accuracy.

This service is not just limited to ALF's and group homes. This packaging also helps a confused patient who may be sitting in the privacy of their own home putting his/her prescription medications in weekly dosing trays out of multiple bottles and wondering if they have put the correct dosage on the correct time or day. It puts the family members at ease knowing we are taking the responsibility with our professional knowledge and also keeping the doctor-patient-pharmacist communication. We want to make sure discontinued medications and changes in dosage are immediately taken care of. We believe in that one word- "Upgrade" but without losing the old-fashioned and excellent customer service with smiling faces that fill the ambiance in the pharmacy. These are the things of the past, the important things, we will never lose.

Selling Your Home? You Need a CSHP! ORIGINALLY FROM PITTSBURGH, PA AND ALWAYS KNOWING I would someday live in a Floridian paradise, I relocated to SWFL in 1990.

Looking for my niche, I became a Florida State Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser with a focus on Collier and Lee Counties. Working as an appraiser allowed me to meet many real estate agents and, through encouragement from agents, family and friends, I decided to become a Licensed REALTOR®. With that, I can help you fulfill your lifestyle needs and desires, especially if you’re a senior looking to downsize your space.

As a Certified Senior Housing Professional (CSHP), I am uniquely qualified to address the needs of the senior market; trained to counsel you through

major financial and lifestyle transitions involved in relocating, refinancing, or selling your family home.

With personal, hands-on family experience, I understand the complexities involved and the importance of having the right resources to help you.

As your REALTOR®, you’ll receive my industry experience, market knowledge and Florida Lifestyle expertise that goes beyond the typical real estate agent! With specialties in New Home Sales, Relocation, Resales, Second Homeowners, Investment Properties, and as a CSHP, I can bring you success in the SWFL real estate market!

Editor’s Note: Article submitted by Christi L Bryant, CSHP Real Estate Resizing Specialist & REALTOR® Member of the Keller Williams Elite Realty Team. 239-825-9804

To me, providing exceptional service involves more than just making your real estate dreams come true. It requires taking the next logical steps: helping you through the details after you officially sell your home… or perhaps buy your new home.

What to Expect…

Whether you are here for a routine visit or for vision problems, rest assured your exam will be thorough.

Beginning with an OPD Wavefront test, this system uses advanced digital technology to better evaluate your unique vision needs.

Your next step is with our skilled

technicians, they will perform tests to determine your current vision. These tests include a refraction, which determines the amount of corrective lens power needed to obtain your best vision, and other important tests for your overall assessment.

Dilating your eyes will be the last step before seeing the doctor. Dilation enables the doctor to see into the back of your eye to check the retina, macula, and other internal structures. Your doctor will then present you with the best treatment options to guarantee your best vision possible.

If you or someone you know needs of an eye exam, please contact SNEAD EYE GROUP at 239-9368686.

When Should I Have an Eye Exam?

JUST AS IT IS IMPORTANT TO VISIT YOUR MEDICAL DOCTOR for a yearly check-up, it is equally important to have an annual eye exam.

Certain medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure may require you to see your eye doctor more frequently to ensure your vision is not decreasing due to your physical health.

Have You Noticed a Change in Your Vision?

HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED BLURRED OR CLOUDY VISION, FREQUENT CHANGES IN EYE prescriptions, night glare and hazy vision or colors that seem to fade?

More than half of all Americans age 65 and older have a cataract. The natural aging process is the most common reason for their development. Cataracts also can develop following an eye injury such as a blow, puncture, cut or burn, or can be formed in association with certain diseases, such as diabetes.

Your eye works like a camera, with a clear lens that focuses images on the retina at the back of your eye. When the lens becomes cloudy and discolored, causing increasingly blurred vision, it is called a cataract.

Cataracts typically cannot be seen by external examination. At Eye Centers of Florida, physicians use a high-powered microscope to determine the type, location and size of the cataract, and an ophthalmoscope to view the interior of the eye.

David C. Brown, M.D., founder and medical director of Eye Centers of Florida, was the first surgeon in Southwest Florida to implant the innovative foldable lens as part of a nationwide trial. Foldable lenses were pioneered in the 1980s, allowing surgeons to implant full-sized lenses through very small incisions in the cornea.

All of our cataract surgeons use the sutureless or “no-stitch” technique, which Dr. Brown introduced in the

region. Sutureless cataract surgery reduces discomfort and results in a faster return to health and clear vision.

In conjunction with the sutureless method, our surgeons use a technique called phacoemulsification to remove the cloudy lens (the cataract). The procedure is performed under a highpowered microscope and involves placing a tiny, ultrasonic probe in the eye through a very small incision, which breaks up the cataract and allows for gentle vacuum removal, leaving in place the lens capsule to provide a base for securing the intraocular lens implant.

For your cataract evaluation, Dr. David C. Brown and his associates at Eye Centers of Florida welcome your questions about cataract surgery and your overall eye health. “The most experienced ophthalmology practice in Southwest Florida, serving Southwest Florida for over 40 years.”

Health at Home

Forever Home – Fall Prevention ACCORDING TO AARP 75% OF PEOPLE, WHEN ASKED WANT to stay in their homes as long as possible. But did you know, the single biggest obstacle to staying at home is Falls. Throughout the US an older adult is seen in an emergency department every 15 SECONDS for a fallrelated injury. The number one call to EMT in Naples, Florida is a result of falls in the home. Falls are bellwether events, especially for seniors. After a fall nothing is the same, many falls lead to death, disability, fear and tremendous cost to families, both financially and emotionally. They often are the event that ultimately pushes someone out of their home and into an assisted living facility regardless of the wishes of the individual.

Falls Prevention is key to maintaining a Forever Home. There are both simple and not so simple steps that can be taken to ensure falls prevention, some involve the individual’s health habits and some the living environment. Health habits include correct hydration, nutrition and strength. They also include issues with chronic disease and hearing or vision loss. Polypharmacy, excessive or improperly managed medications can lead to balance issues, confusion, weakness and ultimately to falls.

While assessing a physical living environment seems to be a simple matter, a thorough check should be done with experienced eyes. From front door to bathroom, each step needs to be considered with safety in

mind. Work done on a home should be done by certified aging builders.

For example, grab bars are critical to safety in the bathroom, but poorly installed or incorrectly placed grab bars can actually contribute to falls.

And a safe home does not need to appear “clinical” designers are focusing on creating safe homes that are aesthetically pleasing.

Helpful steps to prevent a fall include: 1. Find a good balance and exercise program 2. Talk to your health care provider for an assessment of your risk of falling 3. Regularly review your medications with your doctor or pharmacist 4. Get your vision and hearing checked annually and update your eyeglasses 5. Keep your home safe 6. Talk to your family members It is often difficult to see the gaps in our own situation, whether our health habits or our physical environment, but creating a Forever Home is achievable with the assistance of professionals who understand the multidimensional issue of falls prevention.

Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Patrice Magrath of McKenney Home Care (ACHA Lic # 299994144). Contact McKenney Home Care for a full Falls Prevention Assessment at 239.325.2273 or info@mckenneyhomecare.com. http://www.ncoa.org/improve-health/center-for-healthy-aging/fallsprevention/Patrice Magrath.

Families Caring for Parents Lose Income THE CHALLENGES OF AGING DON’T FALL ON THE ELDERLY alone. They are shared by the family and friends who help keep seniors at home, and by the employers of those family members who must adapt to overly busy, stressed-out workers.

Over the next few weeks we will review the challenges to families and their employers and show how we can make the situation better.

Let’s say your mom is living alone, and you’re the child who ends up being the primary caregiver. You make sure she’s up in the morning and eating regularly. You take her to the doctor and either take her to the grocery store or do her shopping for her.

You’re in charge of preparing meals, sorting out medications, making sure bills get paid, and keeping the house clean. On average, you report spending more than 20 hours a week— that’s a half-time job—and that’s before you even consider the quality time that will allow you to have an actual relationship with her.

You’re chronically tired and frustrated. You’re also losing money.

You thought you could take care of everything yourself, but then you end up coming to work late, leaving early, taking extended lunches, and spending long bouts on the telephone. You

cut back on your hours to fit everything into your day. Maybe you quit your job because you can’t make it work.

If this story sounds familiar, it may be because it’s very common. Nearly one in six caregivers say they have serious financial hardships from their caregiving responsibilities (reporting either a “4” or a “5” on a 5-point scale).

Nearly 70 percent say they have had to make changes at work such as Going in late or leaving early Taking a leave of absence Cutting back on hours Turning down a promotion Choosing early retirement Quitting There are other alternatives. Stay at Home works closely with family members to ensure their loved ones are safe and in touch. We love to take your mom to the doctor and the grocery story, make sure her house is tidy and see that she’s eating well. That way, you become a more stable, dependable, productive, happy worker. With us on your side, you can take that promotion and still get some quality time with your loved one.

Editor’s Note: For more information about how Stay at Home helps families, please call A.J. Canfield (239)939-1200 or visit us on the web at www.stayhomelee.com. We know that we can never be as good as family, but we are the #1 best alternative.

IN 2005, A GROUP OF PRIVATE PILOTS IN OHIO STARTED flying World War II Veterans to Washington to see their memorials and Honor Flight was born. Since then, over 100,000 Veterans have been escorted on a Mission.

Thanks to the commitment and passion of Naples Veterans Mr. Sean Lux (Air Force) and Dr. Debi Strand (Navy), 98 area Veterans have made this trip with the chapter they began September 2013: Collier County Honor Flight (CCHF.) “We exist simply to give the biggest THANK YOU we can to Veterans of all wars and conflicts" says Mr. Lux. CCHF is part of the National Honor Flight Network, an all-volunteer, all donation funded organization dedicated solely to taking Veterans to see their memorials in Washington.

With three successful Missions completed, CCHF is eagerly preparing for Mission FOUR-75, scheduled for Saturday, October 25, 2014. Mission FOUR-75 is comprised of 75 World War II Veterans, 75 Guardians to escort them and the CCHF Board and volunteers.

The day beings early (4:00 am) at Naples airport, where the group boards buses for RSW and their flight to Washington. In the city they are taken on a driving tour and then visit

Arlington National Cemetery and these war memorials: World War II, Korean, Vietnam and Iwo Jima. They fly back to RSW for a rousing, community-wide "Welcome Home" ceremony, and then back on the buses for their ride to Naples.

"CCHF brings our community together in a great way" says Dr. Strand. The Welcome Home at RSW has become a Southwest Florida community tradition with over 1,000 patriots including civic groups, law enforcement and school children celebrating the return of these treasured heroes. Jeffrey Morse of the North Naples Color Guard (the official Honor Guard of CCHF) agrees with Dr. Strand “we are extremely humbled to escort CCHF through the airport. It is our honor to give back to these heroes who fought to preserve our freedom."

The entire Naples area community is invited to be part of the CCHF by joining in the Welcome Home ceremony at RSW when the plane arrives at approximately 10:00 pm on October 25. It's an opportunity to say "Thank You" in person to the Greatest Generation.

Additional details about this event as well as applications for Veterans, Guardians and Volunteers is available on the chapter’s website: www.collierhonorflight.org, their Facebook page “Collier County Honor Flight” or by calling 239-777-9295.

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.

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 NURSING 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 48-49. = WEB LINK on www.SeniorsBlueBook.com • Fall - Winter 2014 • 107

Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC)

Welcome Naples Newest Alzheimer’s Care Community-Villa at Terracina Grand VILLA AT TERRACINA GRAND, IS A NEW TWO-STORY BUILDING on the campus of Terracina Grand that, will feature 55 apartments for 60 residents needing memory care, designed with a spacious and private, central courtyard. It is expected to open in January 2015.

This community’s focus is on individuals with all stages of Alzheimer’s, and other forms of dementia. The new memory care community will be located on the existing property, near the corner of Davis Boulevard and County Barn Road in Naples. The Villa will feature well-appointed friendship suites, studio apartments and one-bedroom apartments.

“Among the many innovative Life Enrichment programs they are implementing the national, award-winning Pearls of Life® dementia program will be a top priority at the Villa. The Pearls of Life® program recognizes the value of each person and assists them in discovering the treasures within themselves. The program focuses on each individual’s strengths and promotes opportunities for new successes each day Our Pearls’ environments are designed for the resident to feel comfortable, safe, and secure. An atmosphere is created that provides structure and routine, while allowing flexibility to meet individual needs. Ongoing support is given to our residents and their families which assists everyone during all stages of the transition process and through the progression of

their diagnosis. Examples of support provided are the Caregiver Support Groups, care conferences, educational seminars featuring credentialed speakers and individualized problem solving.

The Goodman Group has found that integrative therapies, such as the use of plants and essential oils aromatherapy, as well as the dramatic impact of music and art, engage the resident’s senses and provide comfort and relief for many ailments,” said Peter Hendrickson, executive director, Terracina Grand. “They also help reduce agitation, and in some cases, decrease the need for psychotropic medications.”

“Villa at Terracina Grand will feature an upscale countryside estate and relaxed resort-style design with custom painted faux sky ceilings and large murals of regional nature areas, to bring the beauty and ambiance of the outdoors inside,” he added. “It will also have a spacious orangery (conservatory), a screened porch on the west lounge on the second floor is available, as well as access to a lushly landscaped area on the ground floor.”

The memory care community will operate in a self-contained home-like environment and provide personalized care plans.

PEACE OF MIND,

Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CRCC)

EDUCATE – ENGAGE – PLAN Discussing Senior Living Options Together PROBABLY THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF BEING AN advocate for seniors is trying to help them understand the importance of having a plan before a crisis.The challenges that aging brings are a normal part of life, but people don’t realize even a little homework can make things smoother.

To help educate seniors and their families about their options, Seniors Blue Book is holding its third annual Senior Living Symposium in early 2015. The first one will be held in January in Collier County at Vi at Bentley Village and then February for the Lee County market at Florida Gulf Coast Unviersity.

The previous events met with rave reviews from both attendees and industry professionals. Attendees learned how to decide the right time and place to make a change – whether it’s moving into one of the many beautiful independent living communities in our area, choosing an assisted living community because more services are needed, or having outside help so seniors can stay in their homes.

The symposiums focus on housing options plus a wide range of topics such as the importance of socialization and proper nutrition, home healthcare, transition planning and elder law... just to mention a few!

In addition to five educational pan-

els, 40 plus vendors will have exhibits and information available. It is free and lunch is always included.

However, space is limited, and a reservation will be required.

If you’re wondering about the next chapter in your life or that of a loved one, you’ll want to attend our Senior Living Symposium and to be prepared for the question-and-answer sessions.

Visit the sponsors’ tables, register early, and enter to win one of the many door prizes. It will be time well spent.

Be sure to watch for our announcements and advertising programs for the details on the upcoming Senior Living Symposiums. If you have access to a computer, visit our website www.seniorsbluebook.com. Check under the Seniors Activity Calendar for locations, dates, and details.

At Seniors Blue Book, we feel it is our responsibility to compile vital information in an orderly, concise manner and keep it updated and accurate for seniors and their families. We’ve been doing just that for nearly 25 years. I’m proud to say we have continued to grow even during the fragile economy of the past few years.

At Marsh in Naples At Pelican Pelican Ma

“We were familiar with retirement places, we looked at all of them and Aston Gardens was the best choice,” said David, 92. “We really liked the idea of renting an apartment home instead of buying so the kids have nothing to sell later on.

Plus, two of our best friends from our hometown live here ! ” Nancy and David both enjoy the complimentary transportation for trips to nearby cultural attractions and appointments, and have met many wonderful new friends at Aston. The restaurant-style fine dining is equally enjoyed.

“The fo ood is wonderful, and I like not having to plan meals, shop for food and cook, that’s a real draw,” said Nancy, 88.

The Ferrises selected a Harrington two-bedroom, 2.5 bath apartment with a den and a porch overlooking the golff course.

“We’re having a lot of fun, life is easier for us now,” David said.

ASTON GARDENS AT PELICAN MARSH

Naples for five years before moving into Aston Gardens At Pelican Marsh in April, so they had a good idea how nice the area is. But what they didn’t know was the easy living lifestyle that they were missing out on.

THE CARLISLE

What inspires a life well lived?

It’s all the special moments. Like waking up in your spacious new residence. Being greeted by name, with a warm smile. A great meal in stylish surroundings with good friends. An invigorating workout or swim in the pool.

And the assurance that tomorrow’s care needs can be managed for you, right here at home. This is retirement living, enriched and unencumbered – tailored to you.

This is life, your life, at The Carlisle Naples.

Spotlight on Seniors

Mrs. Hazel Marra couldn’t be more proud to live at The Carlisle Naples.

In fact, the former banker is so pleased with community that she recommended it to two friends, who now also call The Carlisle home.

“The Carlisle is geared to people my age and we have an awfully good time,” she said.

“The food is great and there is wonderful entertainment. There’s truly something for everyone.”

A resident at The Carlisle for nearly two years, Mrs. Marra takes great delight in welcoming her newest neighbors. She serves on the Hospitality Committee, helping newcomers get acclimated.

Additionally, Mrs. Marra graciously volunteers in the community’s onsite sundry store, The Marketplace, and is known for encouraging others to do the same.

When she isn’t giving back to The Carlisle, she can be found in The Carlisle’s state-ofthe-art fitness center where she exercises 3-4 times per week. She also is especially fond of the weekly musical entertainment/concerts.

Mrs. Marra is an avid golfer, having played

for nearly seven decades. She recently participated in The Carlisle’s Summer Olympic Challenge, helping her team — The Pirates — in the golf putting and golf chipping competitions, as well as in the Crossword Puzzle challenge.

Prior to living at The Carlisle, Mrs. Marra lived in a villa in a golf-course community and thoroughly researched retirement options in Naples.

“The Carlisle wasn’t a buy-in community,” she explained. “You can move out if you don’t like it; however, everything you could possibly want is right here. What more can you ask for?”

SPRINGWOOD COURT 134 • Please mention the Seniors Blue Book when you call our advertisers.

Meet Martha Ann… She is an angelic frequent flyer at Springwood Court!!!! veryone at Springwood Court gets very excited to hear that Martha Ann is going to return for another respite visit! The entire staff and residents alike count down the days anticipating her return. She is known as a respite resident and one of the most pleasant people you would ever want to meet.

Respite is a term used for people in need of assisted living for a short term visit. Sometimes family members need to go out of town for a short time or perhaps a caring spouse may need medical attention away from home. Whatever the reason, respite care provides someone like Martha Ann with a safe, caring home away from home.

Martha Ann has sure “earned her wings” with over 10 different respite stays in the past few years at Springwood Court. When it’s time for her daughter and son-in-law to take one of their vacation getaways, Martha Ann takes her own vacation to Fort Myer’s Premier Assisted Living Community… Springwood Court! If she ever does want to become a full time resident, the transition will be quite effortless!

Martha Ann says being here is just like being home with her kids… she does a lot of reading and puzzle working. “Everything is so good here” she told me. “It’s a fun place to visit and the food is just as delicious as my daughter’s meals at home.”

Her birthplace is Covington, Indiana…1929. As a young lady, she attended college at Valparaiso, Ball State, and Butler Universities, and became an elementary school teacher until she retired. She met her husband in 1953 while they were both working at General Motors in Indiana. Soon after that, they were married and had 2 children. She currently lives with her daughter. Her son resides in Nashville. Martha Ann and her beloved husband, who has passed away, moved to Florida in 1985.

If you are interested in receiving more information regarding Respite Stays or on becoming a full time resident, give us a call. It would be our pleasure to arrange a tour of our community.

Renaissance at The Terraces an Awakening for Area Seniors “I WISH I HAD STARTED LOOKING AND FOUND THIS OPTION sooner.”

It’s a familiar remark Erik Eaton often hears from older adults and families who come to Renaissance at The Terraces. Located on the same campus as The Terraces at Bonita Springs and its upscale independent living options, Renaissance offers the area’s newest assisted living, memory support, skilled nursing, rehabilitation and respite care services.

“A lot of people are afraid to look at other living options and the thought of losing their independence,” says Eaton, LPN and assisted living manager at Renaissance. “The reality is, you have the choice of doing whatever you want here, and if you need some assistance it’s at your beck and call.”

“If you’re at your home and need some help, your neighbor or family member might not be available.”

In addition to the continuum of care that residents and families say provides a great sense of security, Renaissance is also open to the public offering short-term health services.

Rehabilitation services are designed for anyone recovering from a surgery or hospitalization who needs physical, occupational or speech therapy.

“There’s nothing better than seeing a person come here for rehab and get

back to where they want to be as soon as possible,” says Doug Potts, administrator at Renaissance.

Recent health care reform has put an emphasis on preventing rehospitalizations, leading health care professionals to refer patients to only the highest-quality rehab and health service providers.

“We’re proud to be a top referral source for health care professionals and appreciate the recognition for the quality of our staff, programs and equipment,” says Carolyn Vecchio, clinical liaison at Renaissance. “No one wants to see anybody experience a health setback or deal with an issue longer than they should.”

Beyond the quality support services at Renaissance and features like private suites with full private baths, residents say the social atmosphere is the one of the biggest motivations to move there.

“There are a variety of engaging activities throughout the day available to everyone on campus, and it’s fun to see Happy Hour is one of the most popular,” Eaton says. “Whether it’s at Happy Hour or dinner in the private dining room, it’s heartwarming to hear residents joking and laughing, and when you’re able to see that twinkle in their eye again.”

For more information about Renaissance at The Terraces, call (239) 444-8549 or visit RenaissanceAtTheTerraces.com.

Tampa Bay Rays Celebrate Bentley Village “Super Fan” Age 99 THE BENTLEY VILLAGE FITNESS CENTER lOOKED MORE LIKE A college pep rally than a fitness class on the campus of a Continuing Care Retirement Community last March.

It was complete with “Raymond”, the Rays 7 foot mascot, and the Ray Girls, the team’s cheerleaders. They were in Naples to celebrate their long time devoted fan, Bill Wehner, who has followed the Rays since their early days.

After years as a devoted fan attending games and corresponding with team management, he learned several weeks ago that they would be coming to Bentley Village to celebrate with him in person. Every day since he learned they were coming, he has asked his daughter, “How many days till the Rays come?” She posted the daily countdown in his room on the third floor of the Bentley Care Center.

Bill is still a kid at heart! When you enter his room, there are wall to wall pictures, banners, posters, and collages of his life, past and present. The pictures tell the story of a man who loves life, who is loved by his family, and who is passionate about his favorite sports team, the Tampa Bay Rays.

Bill appears to be not only the Rays oldest fan, but their number one fan.

The Rays Management refers to him as their “Super Fan”. His loyalty has garnered him many artifacts of the team, sent by the Rays to him as tokens of his long devotion as a fan.

Unable to travel to the games this season, he now watches, with his daughter Donna, on a big screen TV in his room, decked out in his blue Mohawk wig, his number one Tampa Rays finger, his Rays cape, and his own Tampa Rays jersey of Evan Longoria, his favorite player on the team. If the team is playing late on the West Coast, he goes to bed at 8:00 pm and sets the alarm for midnight so he can get up to watch the game.

He says that he “loves how they play with spirit”.

Bill has other passions, too: his late wife of 75 years, Ruth, his family of 5 children, 15 grandchildren, and 18 great grandchildren, the Lord, his good friends, and golf. At 99 he stills goes to the Bentley Fitness Center with his caregivers each day. He does a 45 minute workout and enjoys lots

ny, he quoted their motto and then began singing their signature jingle, “Never borrow money needlessly, but when you must, be sure to go to folks you trust, Household Finance”.

When Bill retired, he and Ruth moved to Marco Island because he liked the golf course there. In 1999, they moved to Bentley Village in Naples where they enjoyed their life with friends and played golf until he was 95. Bill lost his dear wife of 75 years in 2008. His children and grandchildren take turns visiting with him.

In 2013 Bill moved from his independent apartment to the Bentley Village Care Center. His one room apartment there seems large and filled with life. It is clear that when he moved into the Care Center, the only thing that changed about his life was his address. He is surrounded by family and caregivers who love him and who make it their goal to help him continue to have the best quality of life possible.

He will celebrate his 100th birthday December 28th, but at this stage of his life, he says, “Every day is a celebration”. It is easy to see why the picture poster of him on his door reads “Bill is 99 and just a kid”. If you would like to help us celebrate Bill, send him a birthday card for his upcoming 100th. His address is Bentley Care Center 875 Retreat Drive, Naples FL 34110.

of hugs from the ladies.

There’s a photo of a replica of his first car, a 1918 Model T Ford, which he bought for $15 when he was 16.

He and 2 friends drove that car, which had a rumble seat and a crank starter, all the way from Philadelphia to Miami Beach for spring break in 1930. They traveled in the open Model T for days at a top speed of 30 mph on dirt and semi- paved roads.

With no map, the way he tells it, he drove south until he came to a store and the road ended. He would ask the store keeper, “I am trying to get to Florida, how do I get to the next road going south?” He repeated that all the way down the east coast. At home, he had left his parents only a note saying, “Gone to Miami Beach for spring break”. He sent a telegram from Georgia saying, “All is OK, in Georgia now.” I asked if he was in trouble when he returned and he laughed and said, “Oh yeah!” Then he shared that his second road trip in his Model T was to elope with Ruth.

He left another note!

Despite the spontaneity of his youth, he matured into a responsible and successful businessman.

He began his career on the ground level of Household Finance during the depression, and ended his career of 43 years there overseeing 3,000 offices as the President of the Company. He loved his job and is very proud of the service Household Finance provided to people in need by granting small loans, even when they had no collateral. When telling about the compa-
