Meet Joan, who is caring for her husband, Bob. He suffers from dementia and Joan is concerned about his safety during the day, so she hired a home care agency to help her with Bob 45 hours per week. This solution is taking a financial toll on Joan, who is concerned whether or not this is a sustainable option. We suggested to Joan that she try our daytime senior care and activities center – half the cost with 10x the benefits! Current Option: • Private In-Home Care (5-6 days per week = 45 hours of care) • 45 Hours X $22/hr = $990/week or $51,480/yr or $4,290/mo Proposed Option: • Daytime Senior Care (5-6 days per week = 45 hours of care)

• 45 Hours X $13/hr = $585/week or $30,420/yr or $2,535/mo Estimated Savings (proposed senior day care option): • $1,755/month or $21,060/year Joan discovered she would save almost $2,000 per month on care. Ultimately, she used both services and Bob connected with others and developed new friendships. He came home with a renewed sense of purpose. The combination of services is perfect for Joan and Bob. ActivAge offers solutions for every stage of senior care including daytime senior care, activities, and home care. Editors Note: Article submitted by Kris Chana.

COGNITIVE HEALTH CENTERS - ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND OTHER COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENTS

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Cognitive Impairments are Treatable! The most current research has identified multiple risk factors that collectively lead to the deterioration of cognitive functions. Dale Bredesen, M.D., Co-founder and Chief Science Oﬃcer for Cognitive Health Centers, pioneered this research and has developed protocols that isolate and treat each risk factor. Dr. Bredesen explains his treatment of cognitive decline by comparing it to a roof with 36 holes in it. When it rains, you simply cannot plug one hole and expect water not to leak through. You need to focus on, and plug, each hole separately to prevent water from leaking through. To effectively treat Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, you must first figure out what specific factors are putting you at risk, then you must treat those factors individually. For this reason, Dr. Bredesen advises everyone to get a “cognoscopy,” which he compares to a colonoscopy. Everyone is encouraged to get a colonoscopy around the age of 45 to detect and treat any possible cancer. Much like this exam, Dr. Bredesen says a “cognoscopy” should also be on our to-do list because signs of cognitive decline can start as early as age 45! And similar to most health issues, the earlier you detect and treat cognitive decline, the better your chances of maintaining a healthy brain for the rest of your life. At Cognitive Health Centers, we’ve

Dale Bredesen “Alzheimer’s disease can be prevented, and in many cases its associated cognitive decline can be reversed. There are steps we can all take now to prevent the impairment that experts have long believed to be unavoidable and irreversible.” – Dr. Dale Bredesen combined this evidence-based research with a primary care team that is dedicated to providing longer, more independent lives. Our main priority is you, the patient. We make sure that each patient receives all the help and guidance they need as they work to prevent, or even reverse, cognitive decline.

Standing before the television, patiently waiting for the lottery numbers to be drawn. You realize you match all of the numbers! You won the Powerball! You are in a euphoria of becoming a multi-millionaire, calling all of your immediate friends and family. Who else should you call? Your attorney and financial planner! In Florida, a lottery winner may not be anonymous. The winner’s name and city is published. If you want to

keep some level of privacy, then the name of a trust can be used. A Trust can be used to shelter your identity. Additionally, a Trust is not recorded in court records, therefore the Trust keeps the details private about your estate and beneficiaries. The advice of a financial planner can help you make the decision as to how to take the proceeds, such as a 30-year annuity or lump sum.

PARK ROYAL - LIFE CHANGING CARE. HOPE AMIDST UNCERTAINTY

Life-Changing Care. Hope Amidst Uncertainty. There has been a lot of uncertainty and fear during COVID-19. On top of major life changes such as retirement, loss of a loved one, and medical issues, quarantine increased loneliness, anxiety and stress. Are you caring for someone who is struggling with their mental health or abusing a substance? We can help. Park Royal Hospital is a private, behavioral health facility in Fort Myers that can provide a no-cost assessment to determine what level of care is best for your loved one. Our treatment team includes psychiatrists, social workers, therapists, primary care physicians, physical therapists, dietitians, nurses, and other clinical professionals. Our levels of care include: • Specialized Senior Inpatient unit that treats comorbid conditions along with behavioral issues, memory problems, and behavioral illnesses resulting from Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease • Co-occurring unit for those struggling with substance abuse and their mental health • Women’s unit that focuses on trauma with an all-female staﬀ • Acute and sub-acute units for those with suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders • Medically supervised detox and rehabilitation programs • In-person or virtual outpatient programs including partial hospitalization (5 days a week) or intensive outpatient (3 days a week) • Inpatient and outpatient ECT services Maybe your loved one has never had a mental health diagnosis. That’s okay! Sometimes with aging we develop adjustment disorder when dealing with the next stage of life. Dementia is also something many families are facing with their loved ones. There are seven stages of Dementia and each stage can bring new changes and adjustments and your loved one may respond by acting out only because they do not know how else to respond. For some, the right medication and coping skills can make a big diﬀerence in their quality of life. Park Royal Hospital is here to provide you with help for today and hope for tomorrow.

What is the fuss about Long Term Care? In a post-Covid world, it may be more important to consider Long Term Care coverage in case you need it. Approximately 70% of people turning 65 today need some type of long-term care in their future. Did you know that 20% of those requiring care will need it for longer than 5 years? Control Your Care: Taking steps now to prepare, before you need care, can help you maintain control over your options in the future. Preserve Your Assets: Knowing that you have planned now may ensure that a long-term care need will not impact your retirement assets.

Protect Your Family: Planning for care now allows your friends and family to be there for you—instead of having to become your caregiver. The insurance I represent can provide you with life-time coverage, not increase in premiums and return funds to your heirs if you never use it. This insurance will pay a monthly amount for your care for life while you continue to live at home or pay for your care at a facility while protecting other assets for your heirs. We offer coverage for both husband and wife too! Call me and I will be happy to help you with options that will work best for you and your family.

HEARING CENTERS OF SW FLORIDA – HEARING LOSS MAY BE AN EARLY SIGN OF DEMENTIA

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

Hearing Loss May Be an Early Sign of Dementia

Gradual hearing loss is a common symptom of aging, but in some people it may also be an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia, a new study suggests.

The risk of dementia appears to rise as hearing declines. Older people with mild hearing impairment – those who have diﬃculty following a conversation in a crowded restaurant, say – were nearly twice as likely as those with normal hearing to develop dementia, the study found. Severe hearing loss nearly quintuples the risk of dementia. It’s unclear why the loss of hearing and mental function might go hand in hand. Brain abnormalities may contribute independently to both conditions, but it’s also possible that

hearing problems can help bring on dementia, the researches say. Hearing loss may lead to social isolation (which itself has been linked to dementia), for instance, or it may interfere with the brain’s division of labor. “The brain might have to reallocate resources to help with hearing at the expense of cognition,” says the lead researcher, Frank R. Lin, M.D., an ear surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. “That may explain in part why straining to hear conversations over background Hearing & understanding is not just an ear issue- it’s a quality of life and health issue.

You can’t turn on the TV these days without hearing that you may not be getting all the Medicare benefits you’re entitled to, including money added back onto your Social Security check every month and dental and hearing coverage. If you’re anything like me, you surely don’t want to miss out on anything that you’re entitled to, but as my mother always told me, “The devil is in the details.” And as always, mother is right! What you’re not hearing in the commercials is that you do need to enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan to be eligible for these benefits. These plans can be excellent choices for people on Medicare, but you need to be

sure before you enroll that your doctors are in the plan’s network, what costsharing you’ll have to pay when you receive medical care, and if you’ll have coverage when you travel. The plans vary depending on where you live, so the benefits advertised may not be available in your area. Rather than phoning a national call center, reach out to your local independent insurance agency for expert local advice. You can be sure that your agent will know the plans offered in your area, which doctors and hospitals are in network, and the extra benefits available. And a final nugget of wisdom from Mom, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!”

KEEP YOUR MEDICARE LOCAL! Trust us to help you choose the coverage that’s right for you ... right here.

INFORMED CHOICE – MEDICARE COMMERCIALS – TOO GOOD TO

Medicare Commercials – Too Good to Be True?

Medicare can be confusing, especially if you are relying on a national call center for your information. Let one of our SWFL agents guide you in making an informed decision when it comes to your Medicare health plan.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

When it comes to moving, we are all looking for ways to maximize the process while reducing our stress, responsibilities, errands, & belongings. The definition of downsizing is reduction. We have all been there in one capacity or another – collecting too many items in our home. From your closet to the kitchen “junk” drawer, maybe your spare room, or garage - it can happen anywhere. And when you are moving, cleaning out these areas on your own can be quite a headache. Don’t let this bother you, there are solutions. Hiring a professional move management team trained to

help make the right decisions when downsizing is a start. Some experts say the process of minimizing excess belongings in your home can feel liberating. Here are 5 surprising beneﬁts to downsizing: 1. It makes small spaces seem larger. 2. Once you get started you won’t want to stop. 3. Space is freed up to showcase the items that really count. 4. There are less items to clean. 5. Your loved ones will thank you. Visit Wayforth.com or call 941-2415300 to learn more.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

ReDefine Life can help you make the transition from hospital to home. The day of discharge from the hospital can be overwhelming. A lot of information is provided to you and you may feel like you have barely recovered. You are left wondering, what did the doctor say? What medications were changed? Allow ReDefine Life to follow you from hospital to home and take the guesswork out of your hands. Now that you are home, ReDefine Life doctors will help you stay at home by reviewing medications and ordering refills, arranging follow up appointments with your specialists, or following up on lab work.

Whatever it is you need, we are there for you. You will see your Board-Certified physician all in the comfort of your home or schedule a virtual visit. ReDefine Life physicians will contact you as soon as you are discharged. We do not have to replace your primary care physician. Our goal is to minimize unnecessary trips to the emergency room and overnight stays in the hospital. When you are not in the hospital, that is more time for YOU and your loved ones. Please feel free to visit our website at redefinelife.care, click on contact us, and we will be there.

INDEPENDENT LIVING DEFINITIONS

SeniorsBlueBook.com

ACTIVE ADULT RETIREMENT COMMUNITY: Active adult communities offer independent, relatively maintenance-free living to residents aged 55 and over. In “age restricted” active adult communities, 80% of homeowners must be 55 and over, while “agetargeted” communities simply market to the 55+ crowd. INDEPENDENT LIVING (IL): Communities designed specifically for the aging adult to enhance quality of life and remain independent as long as possible. A community may offer annual rentals or month-to-month. Independent Communities provide residents with convenient access to dining & meal plans, entertainment and social activities, transportation, housekeeping & laundry, maintenance, wellness clinics, and access to third party medical services. Apartment styles vary and can include studios, one bedrooms, or two bedrooms. Communities offer amenities such as full kitchens, on-site pool, fitness center, walking paths, and more. These communities are NOT licensed to provide personal/ nursing care.

SUPERVISED INDEPENDENT LIVING: If you or your loved one may not need all the benefits of assisted living, then supervised independent living may be the right option for you. It’s the perfect bridge between 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEPENDENT LIVING DEFINITIONS

INDEPENDENT LIVING DEFINITIONS

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 You Deserve at The Alloro at University Groves

Nowadays, we hear a lot about the notion of ‘living your best life,’ and the idea of prioritizing your overall wellness and happiness As more and more newly-minted seniors continue to embrace this concept, a new type of 55+ living experience has emerged - ActiveAdult communities. Featuring robust activity and event calendars and resort-inspired amenities, these facilities cater to those who elect to shed the burdens of home ownership and maintenance in favor of a downsized, hasslefree life. They do not feature the higher level of medical service and support that one might expect to see at a more traditional ‘old folks’ home,’ instead offering residents

an experience more comparable to a high-end vacation – a tradeoff that has proven extremely desirable to this new generation of young senior.

Coming soon to Sarasota, Florida, The Alloro at University Groves has taken this idea to the next level. The Alloro team has recognized that the needs of the modern senior have evolved and has gone to great lengths to

ASSISTEDTABLE LIVINGOF DEFINITIONS CONTENTS

ASSISTED LIVING DEFINITIONS

ASSISTED LIVING DEFINITIONS WHAT ARE ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES? Assisted living communities provide full-time living arrangements in the least restrictive and most home-like setting. Communities can include individual apartments or rooms that a resident has alone or shares with another person. These communities can also range in size from one resident to several hundred residents. The basic services include, but are not limited to: • Housing, nutritional meals, and special diets • Personal care (help with bathing, dressing, eating, walking, physical transfer) • Give medications (by a nurse employed at the community or arranged by contract) or help residents self-administer medications • Supervise residents • Arrange for health care services • Provide or arrange for transportation to health care services • Health monitoring • Respite care • Social and leisure activities • Mental Health services TYPES OF ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY LICENSES: There are three types of assisted living licenses. A community must have a standard assisted living community license in order to operate in the state of Florida. The other three licenses can

be added in order for the community to provide services designated outside the spectrum of a standard assisted living community license. STANDARD LICENSE: A residential community that provides direct physical assistance with or the supervision of activities of daily living, assistance with medication(s) and other similar services. LIMITED NURSING SERVICES (LNS) LICENSE: An assisted living community with a LNS license provides the basic services of an assisted living community as well as nursing services provided by licensed nurses within the scope of their nursing practice. The resident would still need to meet admission and continued residency criteria. EXTENDED CONGREGATE CARE (ECC) LICENSE: An ECC community can provide all the same services as an LNS community and the following: • Limited nursing services and assessments • Total help with bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting • Measurement and recording of vital signs and weight • Dietary management, including special diets, monitoring nutrition, food, and fluid intake • Supervise residents with dementia and/or cognitive impairments • Provide or arrange for rehabilitative services • Provide escort services to medical appointments

154 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – SPRING 2022

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

PRIVATE/SELF-PAY: Self-pay residents use their own resources to pay for nursing care. This is sometimes referred to as private pay. Even if another payer covers your nursing home bill, you might have to pay for a portion of the bill. This is referred to as aco-payment. You might have to pay for the nursing home during a short absence from the nursing home. This is referred to as a bed hold. Make sure you understand how much of the nursing home bill that you are responsible for paying with your own money. INSURANCE, HMOS, AND OTHER PAYERS: Some long-term care insurance, commercial insurance, commercial Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Veteran’s Administration, Workers’ Compensation, and other programs covering nursing home stays. Plans vary widely. SHORT TERM/RESPITE CARE: Circumstances require a caregiver to seek temporary senior housing for

your loved one. Knowing they can move seamlessly into an emergency care environment that supports the wellness needs of seniors allows peace of mind when you are called away for business or vacation, or if you just need a short break from caregiving. ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (ADLs): Define the personal care services available in assisted living and include bathing, dressing, grooming, bathroom assistance, eating and ambulation. Medication Administration and transferring are not ADLs but are factors in determining a person’s level of functioning.

TABLE OF CONTENTS ASSISTED LIVING DEFINITIONS

• Educational programs to promote health and prevent illness

SeniorsBlueBook.com

ADULT DAY STAY PROGRAMS: There are two general types of adult day care programs. One is based on a medical model and the other on a social model. The medical model provides comprehensive medical, therapeutic, and rehabilitation day treatment. The social model offers supervised activities, peer support, companionship, and recreation. Both models assist older adults and those with chronic conditions to remain as independent as possible, for as long as possible.
