SENIOR HOUSING

First you should familiarize yourself with the many options available and determine which one is best for your needs. You will find definitions of each type of housing at the beginning of the housing section. Then turn to our easy to read comparison grids. The grids are divided into 3 categories, depending on the type of community: Independent Living and Retirement, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing. The buildings are listed by city or county so you can zero in on the specific areas you are looking for.

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

You will also find many feature articles throughout the publication. These articles are written by local experts on a variety of topics that can aid you in making the right choices.

Everything you need to know when choosing care for you or your loved one! We completely understand how difficult it is to navigate the complex world of senior care. How do you know where to start? Do we hire an elder law attorney first? Should we meet with our local VA representative? What’s the difference between Medicare and Medicaid? Should we look into assisted living or home care? How do you choose the first step? How do you know if it’s the right step? How do you know what to do next? Most people caring for their aging

parents, spouse or a loved one face these questions at some point during their journey. This process can be extremely overwhelming, however, there is hope. We are on a mission to eliminate the confusion and frustration by giving people an easy to follow guide to help them understand what they need and who to talk to in 5 simple steps.

Alzheimer’s Awareness: Are You Aware? Not as many people are aware, but every one of us is impacted by Alzheimer’s disease. Maybe the disease affects somebody we know - we’re all just a few degrees of separation away from someone suffering from the disease. We are all indirectly paying the bill as Alzheimer’s will cost our government $277 billion by the end of 2018, and that does not reflect informal care. Nationally, 5.5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s, every 66 seconds someone is diagnosed and 1 in 6 women age 65 and over develops Alzheimer’s. Over 450,000 Floridians have Alzheimer’s with approximately 40,000 of Southwest Floridians, and 1 in 8 persons

over the age of 65 have Alzheimer’s. Researchers are working around the clock to expand on our knowledge. Many exciting studies are evaluating both diagnostic tools and treatments. Locally, the Neuropsychiatric Research Center of Southwest Florida (NPRC) is conducting eight studies all dedicated to Alzheimer’s disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). We are learning every day. The more we learn, the closer we get to new treatments. That is reason to hope. Editor’s Note: Article submitted by Angel C. Duncan, Neuropsychiatric Research Center of Southwest Florida. For more information call the NPRC at 239- 939-7777.

Long-Life Planning: An Approach Coming of Age This year our law practice has completed its 40th year in Sarasota. Over that time frame, we have seen Sarasota grow in size and change in complexion. We have also seen that among the older clients we encounter, “olderage” too has changed. Whereas mid to late 80s used to mark the outer limits of the usual age spectrum, now our clients are celebrating mid-90s to over 100. While for many this truly is a celebration, some are not as fortunate. Advancing age can bring with it challenges- the results of illness, accident, or simply aging. These changes sometimes develop slowly. More often they come on suddenly; for example, a stroke, a bone-fracturing fall, a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, or the dementias that accompany them. Dramatically, our expectations of how our lives will unfold are replaced with a new reality. Long-life planning is the way to prepare for the unexpected. I remember when I first started preparing Wills for clients, my amazement with how many would begin the conversation, “This is how I would like to leave my estate if I die….” I often added, “You mean when you die…” but was met with resistance. Later, when I would discuss concerns about addressing

long-term care needs, I would hear a similar, but even more powerful disbelief and resistance. I learned that people often ignore unpleasant realities to avoid dealing with them: if we don’t discuss the “bad” thing, we can prevent it from happening. The truth, however, is the opposite. Life is going to happen and how it will evolve for us is unpredictable. The writer E.M. Forester said it best: “We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” Longlife planning is the rational response to this truism. It allows us to confront the possibilities by designing strategies and legal structures to overcome uncertainties such as: Who will act for us if we are unable to handle our finances? Who will help guide our medical care if we are unable? How do we protect ourselves against financial exploitation? Will we be able to stay at home, or move to a care facility? How will we pay for this? These are just a few of the concerns that are addressed and resolvable through comprehensive long-life planning. Isn’t it time?

Hope: When Other Treatments Have Failed Gulf Coast Ketamine Center is on a mission to infuse life with hope. KETAMINE INFUSION THERAPY Ketamine Infusions can help people who thought they were out of medical options, taking narcotic pain killers or antidepressants with undesirable side effects. Treatments are typically reserved for individuals who have not responded to more conventional therapies. Ketamine is effective because it works in the spine and brain through a different set of nerve receptors – known as NMDA receptors- than traditional antidepressants and pain relievers. That’s why it is successful in helping individuals manage mental health disorders, including various types of depression, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It’s also effective in relieving neuropathic pain disorders such as CRPS/RSD, ongoing back or joint pain, chronic severe headaches and migraines, fibromyalgia, and the symptoms of Lyme disease, among others. We have observed dramatic improvement in some patient’s depressive symptoms, mood and dysthymia, often after just one infusion. In others, the change may be subtler. These subtle changes may include improved sleep, improved focus and concentration, more desire to engage with family and friends, etc. It is important to realize that every patient responds differently and that subtle signs of improvement in function are

generally cause for optimism in completing an initial series of infusions. MEDICAL MARIJUANA The ratification of Amendment two in 2016 has allowed for patients with qualifying medical conditions to obtain a card to purchase medical cannabis in the State of Florida. There is a straightforward procedure beginning with a visit to a physician who is certified by the State of Florida to determine if a patient qualifies. Qualifying Medical Conditions There are 12 medical conditions defined in the Florida medical marijuana initiative. However, the law also states that any medical condition in which the physician believes the medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh the potential health risks for a patient may also be used. The medical conditions specifically defined in Florida’s medical marijuana law are: Cancer, Epilepsy, Crohn’s disease, Glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, Seizures, Chronic muscle spasms, Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s Disease-ALS), Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The benefits in treating a wide array of symptoms from multiple disorders with medical marijuana have been staggering over the last two years. Editor’s Note: Dr. Steven Reichbach has expertise using Ketamine for the past 25 years. For more information, visit us online at www. findpainrelief.com.

Mental and emotional health is as vitally important as our physical health at every age level. Attending to emotional health should also be a priority for all individuals. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, grief, loss, loneliness, and substance use are prevalent among seniors caregivers and adults with disabilities. Further complicating emotional health is the lack of availability and ease of receiving treatment for these mental health conditions. At Southwest Florida Counseling Center, we offer experienced, caring and compassionate mental health

counselors who provide confidential mental health counseling in the home. We make the process of seeking and receiving this treatment easy and secure for the individual who is struggling with significant mental health conditions.

A person with CTS may wake up feeling the need to “shake out” the hand or wrist. As symptoms worsen, people might feel tingling during the day. Hands may go numb while driving or holding a book. Decreased grip strength may make it difficult to form a fist, grasp small objects, or perform other normal tasks Dr. Chan advises, “The symptoms of CTS progress gradually, so patients may wait too long to seek treatment. The sooner the nerve is released, the more likely it will recover full function.” CTS is progressive, meaning it is generally not resolved with traditional approaches such as medication or

therapy. That’s where minimally invasive endoscopic carpal tunnel release comes in. “I compare the effects of CTS to those of not watering your lawn,’’ Dr. Chan said. ‘’ln CTS, increasing pressure on the nerve gradually deprives the nerve of necessary blood flow, which can lead to permanent nerve damage. It’s like starving your lawn of water gradually causes it to turn brown and die. If you restore the water supply to your lawn in time, you can save the grass. Restoring the blood flow to the nerve can do the same.

Cognitive Aging Programs Most of us start thinking about aging when it hits us physically and mentally… “oopsy, what’s that word? I did not used to feel that tired so soon! what was I here for?” “Aging is not for the faint of heart”, once a patient told me. Right! It takes acceptance, education, determination, and good planning to age Positively. As a neuropsychologist, I am challenged everyday to assist my patients dealing with the negative effects of brain aging and incipient dementia, educating them on the factors known to protect the aging brain – diet, daily exercise, mental stimulation, socialization, stress

reduction, sleep optimization - motivating them to pursue a healthier life style, and ultimately, achieving their goals in life. We often say “Tomorrow, I’ll start the diet or go to the gym”. It’s difficult to stay motivated alone. In group this comes a lot easier, it’s more stimulating, and more fun.

COVER STORY Like everyone we know, my family and I set launch for sunny paradise 15 years ago. We were amazed by the beauty and warm tropical climate. We quickly loved the people and soon opened the ﬁrst, nurse owned and operated nurse registry, Coastal Care Nursing. Our mission was exceeding the expectations of everyone we encountered: caregivers, nursing professionals, and clients alike. This concept is loved even to this moment. Today, we are recruiting and referring the best nursing professionals to win the hearts of their clients.

Today, there is A Better Way! Year after year, clients wanted more and requested upscale services. So, we answered the call with the first exclusive VIP concierge care service in the area. Each client has a dedicated concierge team to ensure the best care experience. Concierge Attendants are carefully selected for you, and may be exclusively placed on your service. From simply looking for a friendly companion to needing a little more assistance. Some families may only want a temporary service transitioning from hospital to home. Some families may want to direct in every aspect of care. Some families may want simple non-care concierge services from sunrise to sunset. The options are endless with your dedicated concierge team at your fingertips! Contact us and request as many or as few services as you desire for the same flat hourly rate. Ask about our Sunrise and Sunset Service! As always, it is our great pleasure to anticipate your needs before you can think of them!

Nurse Next Door, Home Care Services’ unique concept of Making Lives Better through Happier Aging™ has had a powerful impact on their client’s lives in Sarasota County. Nurse Next Door will now be Making Lives Better through expansion of services in Manatee County. “We are excited to be able to serve more clients with our compassionate team of caregivers,” said Dana Opsincs local owner & Manatee County native. “Happier Aging™ is the hallmark of our care services and we are excited to be able to deliver it in both Manatee and “Overall, what she Sarasota Counties.” gets is care, honest-to-

goodness care. I get the peace of mind of knowing that my mother is with a company that sincerely cares about her. They give you basic respect, dignity and the tender loving care that all of our parents want and that we want for our parents.” -Andrea S. Client’s Daughter

What is Happier Aging™? At Nurse Next Door, we’ve always thought aging was something to be celebrated. Happier Aging™ means reconnecting seniors with interest, hobbies and passions that might have gotten lost amid busy schedules, health concerns or other distractions. It starts with one simple question… “What did you used to love doing that you no longer do?” Happier Aging™ has given seniors a chance to rekindle passions and interest while staying at home.

When you book a free Caring Consult, you’ll meet with a Care Designer to identify the activities that will bring happiness-even if it’s small or simple. We’ll match your loved one to a perfect-fit caregiver who can help bring the individual plan to life. If you or someone you know needs assistance and could benefit from Happier Aging™, please call Nurse Next Door where a live person answers the phone 24-hours a day.

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

Parkinsons and Home Care Parkinson’s disease affects approximately half a million people in the United States, and often affects people at the age of 60 or older. Parkinson’s Disease presents a daunting challenge to both patient and family, especially as the disease progresses and the patient’s mobility decreases. In the latter stages, the patient often becomes bed bound and requires total care. For many, the loss of function requires total dependence on families. Often, loved ones turn to senior home care for answers. One of the first steps is determining if your loved one does indeed have Parkinson’s disease. A doctor can provide clarification and treatment, but knowing the symptoms is vital to understanding the disease: Tremors: Tremors in the hands, arms, legs and head Rigidity: Arms and upper body may stiffen making it difficult to move or move them Slow Movement: Shuffling of feet when walking or slowed speech during conversation Imbalance: Poor posture, possibly

leaning to one side, which may lead to a fall risk Providers of home care solutions may suggest a caregiver trained in eldercare. These qualified individuals will understand the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and know how to work with your loved one to manage them when possible. Your parent may be on a medication regimen, and will be important to take their prescriptions as prescribed. The Assisting Hands care team is uniquely qualified to serve Parkinson’s patients due to specialized training regarding bedbound care. Specialized care equipment is often needed for patients and may help them enjoy some level of independence. We are the only home health agency in Southwest Florida that provides in house training on mechanical, hoyer lift equipment used to transfer patients safely. As your loved one progresses through Parkinsons or other health issues that limit mobility, turn to Assisting Hands Home Care to keep your loved one safe in the comfort of their own home.

SENIOR HOUSING TABLE OF DEFINITIONS CONTENTS

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. 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). Payor sources usually accepted are private pay, and some insurance.

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. EXTENDED CONGREGATE CARE (ECC) – An ALF with this license can provide extended congregate care services. An ALF with ECC beds may keep residents who become frailer than would normally be permitted, in order for the resident to age in place. For example the facility can provide total help with bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting, and can provide or arrange for rehabilitative services, along with other services. However, this does not include 24hour nursing services.

Warren and Carol Carson

THE BEST DECISION

Although they have been residents for over five years, that doesn’t stop Warren and Carol Carson from enjoying every day spent at Aston Gardens.

“We always feel like we have the ability to relax,” says Carol. “It’s nice to have such a friendly and accommodating team of people who always do what they can to make everyone’s daily life that much more enjoyable.” Natives of Brooklyn, New York, Carol worked as an office manager and Warren as a supervisor of address programs for the United States Post Office. After two successful careers and a lifetime of hard work, they decided to retire to the sunny shores of South Florida. “We wanted to live in a place where our neighbors seemed just as relaxed and carefree as we were,” says Warren. “One of the first things we noticed about Aston Gardens, was how relaxed and happy the residents and team members seemed. Everyone was smiling, laughing and just enjoying life, which is exactly what we were looking for.” With a new lease on life and a memorable first impression, Carol and Warren settled into Aston Gardens and have been happy residents ever since. “There is never a dull moment and there are so many activities,” says Carol. “I can enjoy a trip to the mall with friends and a variety of other activities. I’ve done line dancing, I play Bingo, and I’ve enjoyed lady’s tea with my dearest friends at special luncheons. One of my favorite things to do is to attend the weekly church service held in our Recreation and Events Center.” Another perk of being a resident at Aston Gardens is the delicious food. “There is always a good variety and I literally get to eat at the best restaurant in town every day,” says Warren.

DISCOVERY VILLAGE AT SARASOTA BAY:

A happily married couple since 1980, Steve and Tena are thankful that they can still be together after all these years. “It makes me feel good knowing that Tena is right next door to me, receiving the care she needs at the adjoining memory care community,” says Steve. “It’s a comfort knowing that she’s close by and that the team at Discovery Village At Sarasota Bay takes wonderful care of both of us.” Their love story began when Steve and Tena met through mutual friends in New England. They had a great connection and built a wonderful life together. One of their favorite memories together is their European vacation through Spain, France, Italy, and Switzerland. It is that adventurous spirit and desire to keep active that has made Discovery Village At Sarasota Bay the perfect home for Steve and Tena. “I enjoy every day, and I especially enjoy all of the amenities and activities here, including the live entertainment and the library,” says Steve. “Tena enjoys living here just as much as I do, and she is always enjoying some sort of new or familiar activity, whether it is puzzles, arts and crafts or bingo.” Being together at this stage in life is important for the couple, especially since Tena needs memory care support. “I can rest a little easier knowing she is right next door and that both of us are receiving everything we need to be healthy and to enjoy life,” says Steve. “The community feels like family, and it has been the perfect home for us.”

Meet Juanita Grauso, a resident of Savannah Grand of Sarasota, who wanted to share what her experience of moving into an assisted living community was like.

“So, what was it like when you moved in here seven years ago?” “Seven years?! I enjoy every day so I’m not counting! After my husband passed away, it was just me and my dog, Star. It got lonely. I’m glad I was able to bring her with me, and I wish we had come sooner.

I think my husband would have loved living here. Everyone is so nice, it’s like we are one big family.” “If someone was considering assisted living options, what would you tell them?” “Don’t wait! I love everyone here, and we have great entertainers come in all the time. The associates and management really care about us. You’ll never find another place like this!”
