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 4 categories, depending on the type of community: Active Adult Living, 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.

Adult day programs are for elders who need a place to stay during daytime hours because they have difficulty functioning alone (i.e. dementia or physical limitations). The programs provide purpose and stimulation. Most facilities place participants into groups by their specific limitations. Many Assisted Living Communities offer day care as well.

Caregiver, Are You Caring Caregiving, an act of love that is for Yourself? complex and requires constant energy. As you care for the person living with Alzheimer’s disease or other form of dementia, the person you love, who cares for you? Often, too often the answer is that no one does. No one, not even the caregiver. Repeatedly, we learn about caregivers who have had their health fail which resulted in their being unable to care for their person, sometimes permanently. The immensely busy days of caregiving, those days that sap your energy, that use up every second of your time, those are the days you absolutely must make some time for yourself. In other words, every day. Enlist other family members. Call in a friend. Ask a neighbor. Hire a home health agency. Have at least some time during each day, and several unbroken hours each week where you do whatever you want to do. Don’t use those moments for running errands, doing housework, or anything that is done for someone else. Use the time to take a nap, go out for a drive, a walk, visit with someone, go to a movie, or do anything else that you find enjoyable. Join a support group. ADRC offers many options. There are groups that meet during the day, during the evening, in person, via Zoom, Spanish speaking, men only, daughters and granddaughters only, etc. Support groups give you a safe space to

14 GREATER ORLANDO AREA – WINTER 2024–2025

learn, share and recognize that you are not alone. Learn something new. ADRC presents many workshops in person and via Zoom, at no cost to you. The free workshops and seminars provide information on how to manage caregiving, how to manage the illnesses of dementia, and how to reduce your personal stress. ADRC also has a Little Free Library where you can obtain books about caregiving and other topics relevant to the world of dementia. Plan simple, nutritious meals. If you eat well, you will feel better and have more energy. Cook lean protein and include those fresh vegetables in all colors of the rainbow. Reduce sugar intake (including artificial sweeteners) as much as possible. Stick with natural, unprocessed foods. Incorporate some form of exercise in your daily routine. You and the person for whom you are caring can share a chair exercise routine, or a walk in the neighborhood. Turn on some music and dance! Remember, you cannot be replaced, so be certain to take as good care of yourself as you do your person! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Edith Gendron, Chief of Operations at Alzheimer’s & Dementia Resource Center and may be reached at 407-436-7752, or edith@adrccares.org.

Make Giving Back Your Older individuals are active more Second Act than ever before. It has been proven that they like to give back to their communities through volunteerism.

To connect with others and be part of something bigger has been reported to give individuals fewer feelings of isolation. 88% of volunteers experience decreased anxiety, depression, and loneliness. While 84% report stable or improved health after one year of service. If you enjoy encouraging children to be their best self, and you are 55 or better and on a limited income, the Foster Grandparent Program could be what you are looking for. Giving back by serving children and helping those in need gives you purpose and helps teach them empathy and compassion. Children need positive, caring individuals to influence them with social, emotional, educational, self-help and learning skills. It’s the little things that stand out to a child. Something as simple as being there on a consistent basis, listening, and providing extra one-onone support can make an impact on a child’s life. These small acts help build chil-dren’s confidence, self-esteem and life skills while building them up for success. There aren’t any educational requirements, just a passion to help children. A Foster Grandparent volunteer provides 15 or more hours to sup-

port non-profit schools, Head Start and Early Head Start classrooms, childcare and development centers and after-school programs. Through service, volunteers can earn a non-taxable, non-reportable stipend that does not affect current benefits or services one may already have or have in the future, there is also travel reimbursement, supplemental accidental and liability insurance, professional development and recognition. Grandma Marlene says, “It’s a wonderful program, it gives you the opportunity to be compassionate and watch out for the well-being of children. Not to mention it keeps you active.” Why don’t you bring out the best in America by making giving back your second act?

Discover Your Hidden Path to FREE In-Home Care and Navigating healthcare options Medical Benefits! for seniors can be overwhelming. As our loved ones age, ensuring they receive the necessary care becomes a priority. Our Elder Law Experts at Family First Firm guide Florida residents through the complexities of the various programs available to provide this needed care. Unfortunately, these benefits are commonly overlooked because many individuals erroneously believe that they are not eligible for Medicaid assistance due to their financial assets. This mistake prevents them from accessing the vital benefits to which they are entitled. Don’t fall into the trap of misconceptions about income and assets when it comes to accessing the Medicaid program you or your loved one have contributed to through your taxes. You’ve paid into this system; it’s time to reap the rewards. There is a special type of Medicaid referred to as “Medicaid Waiver”, more formally known as the Home and Community-Based Services program. This program is specifically designed to grant individuals the ability and resources to age in place, avoiding the need for long-term care in a skilled nursing facility. The program benefits include medical equipment and supplies, therapy services, medication management and administration, transportation, home accessibility adaptations, home-delivered meals, and more. However, let’s discuss the three key benefits of Medicaid Waiver:

24 GREATER ORLANDO AREA – WINTER 2024–2025

Private Duty Care Coverage Seniors can receive personalized care in the comfort of their own homes, with the program covering the costs of in-home private duty care. This program also allows you to select your caregiver and can provide caregiver training and compensation should you prefer a loved one as your care provider. Assisted Living Coverage Acknowledging the importance of assisted living, the program supplements care costs by up to $1,700.00 per month on average, making quality care more accessible. Adult Daycare Coverage The Medicaid Waiver can be utilized to cover expenses related to adult daycare services, fostering community engagement for seniors. Despite its advantages, the qualification process can be daunting and comes with a lengthy wait that can sometimes be up to two years long. The waiting list is prioritized by medical necessity so thorough preparation for the interview process is crucial. Additionally, there are strict income and asset limits that when not navigated correctly lead to a high chance of denial and can delay the service they desperately need. At Family First Firm, we understand the importance and the intricacies of Florida Medicaid and stand ready to guide seniors through the process, ensuring they

Advanced Directives - What Seniors The need to plan for their future is Need to Know an essential step in their well-being.

One of the most important decisions that can be made is to prepare advanced directives that designate decision makers the Senior can trust and rely on to make decisions for them if they become unable. Discussing these needs can be uncomfortable, but they are necessary for providing peace of mind and ensuring that their wishes are honored when it matters most. What are Advanced Directives? Advanced Directives are a package of legal documents to specify who the Senior wants to make decisions on their behalf if they were ever unable to make decisions for themselves due to illness or incapacity. This package includes a Designation of Healthcare Surrogate, a Living Will and Power of Attorney. What is the Designation of Healthcare Surrogate and a Living Will? A healthcare surrogate outlines a person’s wishes regarding medical care in the event that they become unable and designates who should have control over any medical decisions in the event of incapacitation. The Living Will is used to convey whether the Senior wants life-saving treatments, the use of artificial nutrition and hydration, and other medical procedures if death were imminent

and there was no reasonable probably of recovery. What is the Power of Attorney? This document provides an Agent with powers over a Senior’s finances, property management, authority to apply for government benefits and more if the Senior becomes unable. What Should You Do? It’s important to talk with your loved ones about your wishes before situations arise where those decisions may be needed. If both parties understand the Senior’s desires beforehand, then it will be easier to handle any difficult situations without having too much stress or confusion during an already tough time. Schedule a consultation with an Elder Law Attorney to learn more about these documents and to have peace of mind that the documents will be prepared correctly. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Joannie Rodriguez, Florida Bar Board Certified Elder Law Attorney with The Rodriguez Estate Planning & Elder Law Firm, P.A. and may be reached at 407-961-7615 or by email at admin@ rodriguezelderlaw.com.

Una de las decisiones más importantes que se puede tomar es preparar unas directivas avanzadas que designen a las personas encargadas de tomar decisiones en las que el anciano pueda confiar para que tomen decisiones por ellos en caso de que se queden incapacitados. La discusión de estas necesidades puede ser incómoda, pero son necesarias para ofrecer tranquilidad y garantizar que se cumplan sus deseos cuando más importa. ¿Qué son las Directivas Avanzadas? Las Directivas Avanzadas son un paquete de documentos legales para especificar quién quiere la persona mayor que tome decisiones en su nombre si alguna vez no pudiera tomar decisiones por sí misma debido a una enfermedad o incapacidad.

Un sustituto para la salud describe los deseos de una persona con respecto a la asistencia médica en caso de que quede incapacitada y designa quién debe tener el control sobre cualquier decisión médica en caso de incapacidad. El testamento vital se utiliza para expresar si la per-

sona mayor desea tratamientos para salvarle la vida, el uso de nutrición e hidratación artificiales y otros procedimientos médicos si la muerte fuera inminente y no hubiera ninguna probabilidad razonable de recuperación. ¿Qué es el Poder de Abogado? Este documento proporciona a un Agente con poderes sobre las finanzas de una persona mayor, la gestión de la propiedad, la autoridad para solicitar beneficios del gobierno y más si la persona mayor se incapacita.

The Orlando Senior Help Desk at the Jewish Pavilion helps thousands of callers navigate their way through the daunting senior maze, alleviating caregiver stress while giving advice on all types of elder issues. www. OrlandoSeniorHelpDesk.org

While most seniors face major adjustments when transitioning to an elder-care community, Jewish seniors face additional challenges. Not only do they lose their homes, and many of their friends, but they also lose ties to their cultural heritage. This is where the Jewish Pavilion, a 501c3 non-profit, steps in. The Pavilion serves as a resource that provides room visits, festive holiday celebrations, and more to 450 Jewish residents in fifty facilities for seniors. The Jewish Pavilion promotes inclusion, and thousands of seniors of all faiths are welcomed into our programs.

Start Slowly We are all on our own paths when it comes to fitness, and if you are just getting into a walking routine, it is essential to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity of your walks. Walking for a few minutes every day can help you build endurance, strengthen your muscles, and improve your cardiovascular health. Once you feel comfortable walking for a certain period of time, you can increase the duration and intensity of your walks gradually. Start by adding a few minutes to your daily walk or increasing your walking speed. 2. Utilize a Fitness Tracker Using a fitness tracker can be an excellent and fun way to track your progress and stay motivated. These devices can help you monitor the number of steps you take, the distance you cover, and the calories

you burn during your walks. You can also set daily step goals and work to achieve them. In addition, most fitness trackers come with features that allow you to compete with friends and family members, which can also be a great tool for motivation. 3. Join or Create a Walking Group Joining a walking group can be an excellent way to stay motivated and make new friends. Walking groups provide a supportive environment for individuals to socialize, share experiences, and stay accountable. You can look for local walking groups in your area or even connect with residents in your community who are looking to get more active. The spring season is the perfect time of year to get out and start a new walking routine or give your existing one a fresh boost. However, it is always recommended to talk to your doctor before starting or making any changes to your fitness and exercise routine. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Vivage Senior Living.

Is a Stroke Preventing You from Enjoying Life? New therapy offers hope and healing in Central Florida Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States for people 65 and over. Nearly two million brain cells can die each minute during a stroke, leaving behind a wound in the brain. While the effects depend on the areas of the brain impacted, they commonly include partial paralysis, speech impairment, memory problems, cognitive difficulties, and even personality changes. Physical, occupational, and speech therapies can help stroke survivors recover some lost function and learn to manage their condition, particularly in the first six months after the stroke. After that point, most are told that continued improvements are unlikely. Peer-reviewed, published research suggests that recovery is still possible, even years after a stroke. A unique protocol of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been shown to trigger the body’s own self-regeneration mechanisms, restoring physical and cognitive functions. Clinical evidence indicates that this protocol can create new blood vessels, stem cells and nerve cells in the brain and improve physical abilities, attention, information processing speed, memory, and other skills. Does it Work? Cindy, a 67-year-old widow and

hemorrhagic stroke survivor, was left unable to drive, work, walk without assistance, or even comb her hair. More than three years after her stroke, she turned to the Aviv Medical Program, a customized treatment plan built specifically for her needs. Her program included a unique, scientifically proven HBOT regimen along with cognitive training, dietary coaching and physical training to build the foundation for her ongoing recovery. Since completing the program at Aviv Clinics, Cindy can walk without a cane, work, drive her golf cart around The Villages, and even style her own hair. “Because of Aviv, I’m now able to do those things,” says Cindy. “The more progress I make, the more I want to do.” About Aviv Clinics The Aviv Medical Program and this unique evidence based HBOT protocol is offered exclusively at Aviv Clinics in central Florida. Wondering if the Aviv Medical Program right for you or someone you love?

HEALTH AT HOME - HOME HEALTH CARE

Relationships and the Last summer, a documentary Will to Live miniseries called Blue Zones was released on NetFlix.

In this program, they identified 6 zones around the world with the highest concentration of centenarians (people who live longer than 100 years old). They studied them to find commonalities that maybe, if we could learn from them, we could live longer, too. What I found most interesting was that diet and exercise seemed to vary greatly across the different cultures, but what every zone had in common was the social aspects of their lives. They pretty much all lived in their own homes, surrounded by family who loved them and participated in life with them. They didn’t just sit around… they were active in household chores, playing games, and volunteering. They go out with their friends and participate in a place of worship. Bottom line… centenarians in these Blue Zones were engaged in relationships with the people they loved. I see this story play out every day as the owner of a home care agency. We address non-medical needs of seniors, but we believe that we never want to provide services in a way that allows a senior to sit and wither. We want them participating, active and engaged. I love to share

84 GREATER ORLANDO AREA – WINTER 2024–2025

the story of one of our clients who is blind. She can’t cook on her own and needs meal prep, however she is vegetarian and only likes Indian cuisine. After learning that she loves to TEACH cooking, we paired her with caregiver Maria who loves to LEARN new recipes. The client gets so much more than help around the house… she is teaching my care giver how to cook Indian food! For the client, she is investing in and making a difference in someone else’s life. For so many seniors, the loss of feeling like what they do matters to someone else strips them of their will to live. When you think about the needs of seniors in your life, I encourage you… don’t just think about making their lives easier by taking care of their needs. Find opportunities for them to feel useful, for them to make a difference in someone’s life. Those meaningful relationships could literally be life savers!~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Ken Kozielski, a frequent author, consultant and keynote speaker on healthcare, seniors issues and customer experience.

when it comes to selecting the provider that’s a match for you. As you face serious and/or life-limiting illnesses, palliative and hospice care enhance your existing medical care. They work in tandem with your current doctors and treatments. Palliative Care If you have been diagnosed with a complex or terminal illness, palliative care can improve your quality of life by managing pain through additional visits from registered nurses. Your palliative care nurse works with your physicians and specialists. In addition, palliative care supports patients and families through the stress of living with an illness and can help improve their overall quality of life. Hospice Care Hospice care isn’t just for cancer patients or seniors. It provides emotional, spiritual, and physical comfort to anyone with a life-limiting illness. Wherever a patient calls home, hospice care comes to you. Hospice caregivers also deliver medications, medical equipment, and supplies. Additional Services When you think of healthcare, you rarely consider the extra help

you may need to get through your day. Volunteer, chaplain, and bereavement services go above and beyond normal service offerings. In finding the care provider that’s right for you, be sure to ask about all of their services and compare multiple providers. Covered Expenses Medicare or Medicaid cover almost all palliative and hospice expenses, while private insurance picks up the rest. If your condition improves, you can transfer from hospice to palliative care.

Choose the Care that’s Understand your healthcare opRight for You tions. This makes all the difference

Selecting a Healthcare Provider Selecting healthcare services can feel daunting. Remember, you are more than a patient. You are a person. You deserve to be treated with dignity and respect at every stage in your life. Before you decide on a care provider, meet with the staff to make sure they’re a good fit for you. If at any point, you aren’t happy or comfortable with your care, let the company know. You— and your healthcare—matter. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Larry Woods, CEO of Agape Healthcare. For more information, call 720-482-1988 or email info@ agape-healthcare.com.

“It’s no fun getting old!” If you are finding yourself waking up and struggling to get out of bed, feeling like your joints need to be lubricated just to get up from a chair and you’re physically lacking energy overall then improving your flexibility could be just the activity you need to make you feel younger again. And yes, you can start at any age and be able to see/feel the benefits of a regular flexibility program. Why do we lose flexibility as we age? n Our joints become stiffer and less flexible. This is apparent with prolonged periods of sitting 98 GREATER ORLANDO AREA – WINTER 2024–2025

and standing therefore, movement is vital. n Cartilage in joints becomes thinner and we see a decrease in the fluid that lubricates the joints. Regular mobility exercises help to keep the joints lubricated and moving more freely. n Ligaments will tend to become less pliable contributing to that feeling of stiffness. n Water loss in the muscle tissue. Can we improve flexibility as we age? Absolutely! A few of the benefits of flexibility training include:

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Benefits of stretching on a regular basis include: n Improved posture and balance n Decrease in pain n Improved strength n Improved mood Flexologist Training Program (FTP), provides the knowledge and training for a Flexologist to progressively improve a person’s quality of living as they age. This begins with a full body assessment to determine areas of tightness, restriction, weakness in muscle strength and motor control. A program is then designed based on a Progression / Periodization model that will be created from the initial assessment. A program will be designed building a strong foundation so you will progressively continue to see improvements in mobility and muscle activation

during the early stages of programming and progressing to see improvements in posture and overall symmetry further into the program. You will see and feel changes in the way you move, walk, stand, sit, sleep. You will create both short and long term goals with your Flexologist who will continually check on your progress and how you are feeling in your body to make any adjustments to your program and/or goals. Remember that Flexibility is the key to Longevity! ~

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions HOSPICE Hospices provide individuals facing terminal illness with care at home or in a healthcare facility. The goal is to assist patients to live the last stage of their lives with dignity. The focus is on comfort rather than treatment. Services Provided: N-NURSE – Assesses patient’s physical needs, develops and coordinates the plan of care, ensures symptom control and management, provides patient/family teaching as needed. SW-SOCIAL WORKER – Assesses patient and family emotional and social needs, develops a plan of care, provides counseling, referrals and support to meet identified needs CHAPLAIN – Assesses patient and family spiritual needs, develops a plan of care, provides counseling, assists with memorial preparations. HOME HEALTH AIDE – Provides direct personal care to patient, emotional support to patient and family, reports identified needs to RN. VOLUNTEER – Provides respite and needed non-medical services for patients and their families, offers support at time of death and during bereavement. Levels of Care: RO-ROUTINE CARE – Occurs when regularly scheduled visits are adequate in maintaining the individual’s symptom management. Care is provided at the individual’s private

100 GREATER ORLANDO AREA – WINTER 2024–2025

residence, a retirement community, an assisted living, or a skilled nursing facility. RE-RESPITE CARE – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of town for a short time. Care may be provided in a long-term care facility depending on the condition of the individual. Hospice is responsible for financial arrangements with the Long-term care facility. GIP – General In-Patient Care – Provided in a skilled nursing facility when the symptoms cannot be managed elsewhere. The skilled nursing facility must have 24-hour R.N. coverage as deemed by Medicare guidelines. General in-patient care is usually short in duration. This level of care is usually due to symptoms which are out of control and more intensive nursing services are required. If an individual is at a care facility, room and board are covered by hospice during this period. CC-CONTINUOUS CARE – Provided to prevent the individual from going to the hospital when a crisis occurs. It also is given when more help is needed to assist the individual and family in coping with the crisis. This level of care is usually provided at the individual’s residence no matter where that may be. The criteria for continuous care may include: Severe pain or symptoms which are out of control, psychotic episodes, breakdown of caregiver, imminent death and family unable to cope.

Continuous care is typically reserved for end of life or other crises that requires a constant presence by a nurse or care team. 24/7 ADMISSIONS – If a patient qualifies for hospice care, they should be admitted as early as the family requests. Many agencies admit patients to hospice,24/7, evenings weekends, and holidays. AROMATHERAPY – Uses plant materials and aromatic plant oils, including essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering one’s mood, cognitive, psychological or physical well-being. This is not reimbursed by Medicare. GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS – Grief is the normal and universal reaction humans have to the loss of those they love. When your loved one passes, you may go through a period of bereavement and experience grief. Many provide Grief Groups that meet and address issues of grief in a supportive group setting. INDIGENT PATIENTS – Does the hospice accept non funded or indigent patients? This is usually on a case by case basis and at the determination of the hospice company. Many have a non-profit organization that can help support the care of non-covered patients. IN-PATIENT CARE – These hospices offer full hospice services in their

on-campus unit or building. The patient moves into the inpatient care facility to receive their hospice services rather than in the patients’ home setting.

LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPY – Used as a method for relaxation to alleviate stress, anxiety and pain with a light hands-on approach, as well as providing an alternative to those who can’t take medication or prefer not to, massage therapy has become essential in hospice care. This is not reimbursed by Medicare.

R G=

MUSIC THERAPY – Music Therapy is an established healthcare profession that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals”. A music therapist creates goals and objectives for their patients and uses music activities and music experiences (listening, composition, improvisation, or playing/singing a familiar song) in order to achieve those goals. This is not reimbursed by Medicare. PAIN PUMPS AVAILABLE – Many patients have their symptoms controlled through oral medications. Some situations require a pain pump where medications are administered through an IV pump. If this is the situation, inquire with the hospice RN case manager to see if pain pumps are available through their agency. Continued on page 104

Hospice Care Definitions continued from page 102 PALLIATIVE CARE – Specialized medical care for people with serious illness. It is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness – whatever the prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment. PCP-OVERSIGHT – Can the hospice patient retain their own primary care physician in addition to the hospice medical director? All hospice organizations require a medical director, a physician to oversee their care. Many times the hospice medical director will work in conjunction with the patient’s own physician. The patient, family and hospice team can determine which physicians will oversee the care and certify the hospice eligibility criteria.

PET THERAPY – There’s nothing like a visit from a four-legged creature to brighten the day of a terminally ill patient. Pet therapy teams visit with patients wherever they reside – at home or in professional care settings. Studies have shown many benefits of pet companionship, ranging from reduced blood pressure and anxiety to relief from boredom, pain and loneliness. This service is not reimbursed by Medicare. VA CONTRACT – If the patient is not a Medicare Recipient and is covered by the VA, the VA will make payments directly to their contracted agencies. If a patient is a Veteran, but is a Medicare Recipient, they may choose any Medicare approved hospice agency for their care. ~

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

Senior Housing Definitions

HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM – (Sec 8) - find your own place and use the voucher to pay for all or part of the rent. Participating households are required to pay the greater of 10% of their gross annual income or 30% of their adjusted income towards rent. To qualify, a household’s annual income must not exceed the applicable income limit for the area as adjusted by family size. (Sec 236) Property owners in this program make mortgage payments that are based on a 1% mortgage interest rate. HUD then provides a subsidy to their lender to cover the difference between 1% and the market interest rate on the property’s loan. Participating households are required to pay rent equal to the greater of 30% of their adjusted income (not to exceed the market rent) or the basic rent amount set by HUD for that particular property. Any amount paid by the household that is more than basic rent is Continued on page 100 Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com 105

depending on the changing levels of care while one maintains the same physical residence.

INDEPENDENT HOUSING – Apartments and communities for adults 55+ with little or no senior support services (e.g. no meals, etc...)

PUBLIC HOUSING (PH) – affordable apartments for lowincome families, the elderly and persons with disabilities.

INTERMEDIATE CARE – 24 hour inpatient care residents who need licensed nursing supervision and supportive care, but do not require continuous nursing care. Residents may receive full assistance with ADL’s and transfers. Residents receive meds from a nurse following a doctor’s orders and may receive outpatient rehab services. Facilities may use a nurse as a their consultant and the residents receive periodic assessments from a licensed practitioner.

RESIDENTIAL HOME – Assisted living homes are private residential homes that typically have a small number of residents who live together and receive care from live-in caretakers. Adult family homes offer room and board for seniors who want a more private, home-like community. Assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing and dressing are provided. Amenities and nursing services vary greatly between homes. Ask about their services when you tour. They are also referred to as personal board and care homes. Most accept private pay; Medicaid in some instances.

MEDICAID WAIVER – An assisted living waiver may be used to transition individuals out of nursing facilities or to provide persons at risk of institutionalization with options for remaining in their communities. Assisted living waivers are designed to provide an alternative to more costly nursing home care. PRICE DEPENDENT ON LEVELS OF CARE – Flexible levels of service geared to accommodate different needs over time. Rates may vary

RESPITE CARE / SHORT-TERM STAY – Otherwise known as a short-term stay. Any provider of IL, AL, ALZ or SNF care can elect to provide fully furnished accommodations to a person for a short period of time. Rates usually quoted on a daily basis and are typically inclusive of all services and amenities. Continued on page 134

services they can, still struggle with staffing and operations, which always shifts more of their daily tasks to a reactive approach.

Of course, in this industry, being reactive to the residents’ changing needs is compulsory daily. However, what if there was a way to shift some of that compulsory “reactivity” to “proactivity”. Can it help seniors? Yes, and residents don’t have to touch the technology unless they feel comfortable. Three new ways assisted living communities can utilize technology to improve seniors’ quality of life.

Remote Patient Monitoring or “RPM” for short – essentially, advanced RPM provides their physician with daily health monitoring through a wireless wristwatch with preset thresholds set for each resident. The system alerts the community and the physician if the resident’s applicable vitals fall outside those thresholds allowing a proactive approach by the care team and potentially getting in front of a future problem. Without this information, communities are befallen daily to react to changes in condition.

AI Smart Sensors (not cameras). These sensors are placed

throughout the resident’s apartment and monitor entry door, bathroom door, toilet usage, refrigerator usage, abnormal behavior and fall detection. Monitored 24 hours, this system can work wonders after learning the residents’ behavior, the system will notify community staff and family if abnormal behavior occurs such as not walking around as much, or reduced bathroom usage, or falling in the apartment.

Alexa Show video screen – The Alexa allows residents to communicate with their family via a video feed and families can check on mom or dad with instant connection.

ADULT FAMILY CARE HOMES

Adult Family Care Homes - A Personalized Approach to As a family caregiver, selecting the Caregiving right long term care community for your loved one can be a daunting task. A few years ago, like you, I found myself navigating the same uncharted waters. The Adult Family Care Home was a huge standout to me because that is the only facility where the owner is required to live on the premises with a maximum of 5 residents. While there are a few limitations, the Adult Family Care Home providers with the appropriate classes and training can serve a variety of diagnoses from simple aging to Dementia/Alzheimer’s. Many of these owners are health care professionals that bring a wealth of knowledge and skill set to the care of your loved one. One little known fact that is important to ask is the availability of their OSS bed simply because in the state of Florida, every adult family care home provider is re-

quired to have one bed for a lowincome Medicaid client. If that’s not filled, and your loved one meets the criteria, then your dollars will stretch further. As you journey, just know that a residential community,

weather an Assisted Living or an Adult Family Care Home are viable alternatives not to be overlooked. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Marcia Miller Owner/ Administrator of Serenity Adult Family Care Home and Your Sanctuary Assisted Living and may be reached at 321.276.4439 or by email at safecompassionatecare@gmail.com
