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 / Retirement, Assisted Living / Memory Care Communities, and Skilled Nursing Facilities. The communities are listed by county so you can zero in on the specific areas you are looking for.

consultation to understand the family’s needs. A free on-site assessment follows, allowing the team to evaluate the property and create a clear plan. From there, trained professionals complete the cleanout carefully, discreetly, and without cutting corners. Families, attorneys, real estate agents, senior living professionals, and care providers trust Graceful Estate Services for dependable communication and professional service.

ROBERT TOALE & SONS Robert Toale & Sons Funeral Homes and Celebration of Life Centers are located in Sarasota, Bradenton, and Lakewood Ranch. Some also sit on the cemetery grounds of Palms and Manasota Memorial Parks. Our caring teams work together to serve the Manatee and Sarasota counties, welcoming people of all backgrounds, cultures and religions, including those of the Jewish, Christian, Mennonite and Amish faiths. Our team helps you to create a personalized memorial service, honoring your loved one in a very special way. Whether you wish to subtly incorporate thoughtful touches in a traditional funeral service or carry out a theme in grand style, Robert Toale & Sons Funeral Home is ready to deliver a memorial service as unique as the life being celebrated. For your gardener grandpa, we can set up our chapel with a fruit and veggie stand filled with his favorite produce. For a Tampa Bay Lightning fan, we can ask our team and your guests to wear their Tampa Bay Lightning jerseys. From flip-flop casual to coat-and-tie formal, we create funeral and memorial services that capture the essence of your loved one, truly celebrating a life well lived. Not everyone knows that there are many cremation options. If you are interested in cremation, our funeral home team expertly explains the process and different options. From a direct cremation without a memorial service or a witness cremation to a full funeral service before or after the cremation and more, we help you understand this increasingly common choice—and handle all of the cremation arrangements. We want you to know we serve all families from all walks of life and can create a meaningful celebration to a simple good by for any family member.

THE FIVE BIGGEST MISTAKES FAMILIES MAKE WHEN DOWNSIZING OR CLEARING OUT MASTER AN ESTATE PAGE

SENIORS Blue Book

The Five Biggest Mistakes Families Make When Downsizing or Clearing Out an Estate Sorting through a lifetime of belongings can be overwhelming. Here are five common mistakes we see: 1. Donating or throwing away valuables without realizing it. Many families unknowingly give away valuable jewelry, art, and antiques. 2. Assuming you know what has value. Your most valuable possession may not be what you think. That box of “costume jewelry” tucked in a drawer? It may be worth thousands. 3. Trusting Google instead of an expert. Items online may look alike, but many factors determine their true value.

4. Trying to do everything yourself. Families spend weeks clearing out estates when there’s a faster, more profitable solution. 5. Taking advice from well-meaning friends or neighbors. Everyone has an opinion, but few people have the expertise to understand current market values and the best strategies. You Don’t Have to Do It Alone Before you donate, sell, or toss anything, schedule your FREE inhome consultation with the certified appraisers at Venice Estate Sales & Gallery. One call could be worth

Mortellaro Law

Planning for Our Golden Years: What Every Family Should Know We tend to avoid the hard questions. What if illness leaves you unable to speak for yourself? Who steps in to manage finances when memory starts to slip? What happens to everything you spent a lifetime building? Life rarely waits until we feel ready. The families who come through intact are those who had these conversations before something forced the issue. Sound plans start with five documents: a durable power of attorney, healthcare surrogate with HIPAA authorization, a living will, a pre-need guardian designation, and a written declaration of final arrangements. Each one addresses a different kind of uncertainty. Together they form the answers to the questions your family will face at exactly the moments they are least prepared to. I’ve met with families who had everything thoughtfully organized and families who had nothing in place when the hard moment arrived. The difference in how those families fared is never small. Planning does not require great wealth or perfect health. It requires only a decision made while you still have the clarity and the freedom to make it.

None of us knows what the golden years will bring. But we have far more control than most people realize. We can decide who speaks for us, who steps in when we cannot, and what we leave behind for the people we love. A health crisis does not pause while you get your affairs in order. A stroke, a fall, a diagnosis. Each arrives unannounced, and every document left unsigned, every conversation deferred, narrows what remains available. Proactive planning is not pessimism. It is the clearest expression of how much you care about the people who matter most. The best time to plan is while your health is good. The second-best time is now. Editor’s Note: Article by Michelangelo Mortellaro, Esq., Elder Law Attorney Michelangelo Mortellaro is a Florida elder law attorney with 19 years of experience.

Medicaid Myths: Uncovering the Truth About Medicaid Qualification

any people are introduced to the Medicaid program when they confront the private pay cost of skilled nursing care, which can be upwards of $15,000 per month. The rising costs of long-term care can quickly deplete one’s retirement savings. Florida’s Medicaid LongTerm Care (LTC) Program provides financial assistance to help pay for the cost of skilled nursing care. However, navigating the qualification requirements for Medicaid LTC financial assistance can be daunting, and much of what you may have “heard” from others may not apply to you, or worse, may be wrong. The following are some of the most common “myths” about qualifying for the Medicaid Long-Term Care program, along with the truth debunking those myths: The State will take my house if I go on Medicaid: FALSE. The homestead, under Florida law, is close to sacred. The homestead property is generally excluded from countable resources when determining eligibility for Medicaid. The key is that the Medicaid applicant expresses the desire to return to the home (regardless of practicality), or a spouse or dependent relative lives in the home. Caution: Even if the homestead is exempted from being “counted”

for Medicaid, the applicant is not permitted to use their income for the home’s insurance, taxes or maintenance. Consult with an experienced elder law attorney about how to best handle these carrying costs of the homestead. A “Lady Bird” Deed may be a good planning option depending on your individual circumstances. I have to spend all of my money before my husband/wife can qualify for Medicaid: FALSE. While it is true that the nursing home resident can have no more than $2,000 in countable resources, the spouse at home (community spouse) may keep up to $162,660 in countable resources (in some cases, it is even possible to increase the community spouse resource allowance). Even if all assets are held jointly, the couple has ample time after eligibility is granted to move the funds out of the nursing home resident’s name to the community spouse. Further, planning options may be available to convert countable assets into excluded assets in order to satisfy Medicaid’s asset limit requirements. The client should contact an experienced elder law attorney for more details. This article was submitted by Ira Stewart Wiesner, Esq. and Daniel Hooper Smith, Esq., Florida Bar Board Certified elder law attorneys at Advocates in Aging, Law Office of Wiesner Smith. They can be reached at (941) 365-9900 or by email at advocates@ wiesnerlaw.com.

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

Compassionate Care for Charlotte County’s Uninsured Adults For uninsured adults in Charlotte County, accessing essential healthcare can often feel overwhelming. Virginia B. Andes Volunteer Community Clinic, known as VBA, helps remove those barriers by providing no-cost medical, pharmacy and wellness services to eligible adult residents who might otherwise go without care. At the heart of VBA’s mission is the Chief Executive Officer, M. Suzanne Roberts, M. Ed. and a volunteer Board of Directors, who are local professionals guiding the organization. A dedicated team of volunteer physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals generously share their time and expertise to serve patients. Led by a Volunteer Medical Director, Vance Wright-Browne, MD and our Clinic Services Director, Katlin Howard, APRN, VBA is blessed with volunteer practitioners who, in 2025 help serve more than 14,000 patient visits and over 19,000 prescriptions filled, providing compassionate, high-quality care in a welcoming environment where every patient is treated with dignity and respect. With over 200 committed volunteers who help run the clinic and pharmacy daily. The clinic and pharmacy are always looking for volunteers – licensed medical and pharmacy providers, nurses and non-medical office assistants. To learn more, email the Manager of Volunteers and Emergency Preparedness, Kate Minson at: kminson@volunteercare.org.

Leading VBA’s on-site pharmacy is Val Fogel, PharmD, providing prescribed medications at no cost to eligible patients. During the first six months of 2026, the pharmacy filled more than 5,600 new prescriptions and more than 6,600 refills. The pharmacy team also helps patients understand their medications, manage refills and remain consistent with their treatment plans. For many patients, access to these medications can prevent serious health complications and reduce the need for emergency care. To reach those most in need, serving those who may face transportation or accessibility challenges and are 300% below poverty level, thanks to the Board of Charlotte County Commissioners, VBA opened a brand new customized 33-foot coach Mobile Medical Clinic on April 1, 2024, which now provides care five days a week at more than 26 locations throughout Charlotte County. Whether care is provided inside the main clinic, through the pharmacy or aboard the Mobile Medical Clinic, VBA’s goal remains the same: to ensure uninsured adults have access to the care, medications and support they need to live healthier lives. To financially support VBA, please contact Naomi Copeland, Director of Development at: ncopeland@volunteercare.org. Editors Note: For more information about services and eligibility, visit us online at: volunteercare.org.

Platinum Benefit Services specializes in obtaining Long Term Care Medicaid and Veteran Aid and Attendance benefits for those who seek financial assistance for home health aide, assisted living arrangements or long term nursing home care. It is not common knowledge that those “Over income” or “Over assets” can still qualify for Medicaid, especially those in Skilled Nursing Facility. Avoid spending down and ask us how! Platinum originated in 2000. Over the years Platinum has helped more than 16,000 (as of 2024) families qualify for Medicaid benefits and saved those families billions of dollars in assets.

Florida has a unique set of rules and regulations when it comes to Long Term Care Medicaid. Knowing the benefit programs inside out, understanding how programs interplay with each other, and merging those benefits with federally available programs, like Veterans’ benefits, is a specialty that few companies or legal professionals understand. At Platinum, we offer families a free in person consultation to review all the different benefit qualifiers to determine the best solution for your family’s situation. We understand this process can be extremely difficult and overwhelming, but we are here to help! We hope Platinum Benefit Services will be your Long-Term Care Benefits Professional Service.

RESTORING INDEPENDENCE, ONE STEP MASTER AT A PAGE TIME

SENIORS Blue Book

Restoring Independence, One Step at a Time Deep Creek Physical Therapy is dedicated to helping patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and live independently. Specializing in geriatric mobile outpatient rehabilitation, the company provides highly personalized, oneon-one care directly in the comfort of patients’ homes. To better serve the community, Deep Creek Physical Therapy has also expanded its comprehensive clinical offerings to include dedicated occupational therapy services. Unlike traditional outpatient clinics, receiving therapy at home allows clinicians to develop treatment plans based on the patient’s actual living environment. This real-world approach helps address everyday challenges, making therapy more meaningful and producing practical results that translate directly into daily life. A signature component of the practice is its innovative in-home pool therapy program. Utilizing patients’ own swimming pools, this low-impact, buoyant environment acts as a “giant safety net.” It allows seniors and individuals with mobility challenges— including those with conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, or stroke—to safely practice balance, cardiovascular conditioning, and strengthening exercises with a drastically reduced risk of falls. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual’s goals, whether that means walking with greater confidence,

returning to favorite hobbies, safely navigating stairs, or maintaining independence at home. Therapists work closely with each patient to celebrate progress while encouraging long-term success. The company’s holistic approach focuses on building lasting habits by analyzing how patients interact with their immediate home environments, providing essential modifications for daily tasks like watching television or using a computer. To foster longterm independence, therapists teach proactive strategies such as daily stretching, postural alignment, balance activities, and gentle strength and endurance training throughout the day. Family members and caregivers are also an important part of the rehabilitation process. By providing education, guidance, and practical techniques, Deep Creek Physical Therapy helps create a supportive environment that empowers patients to continue improving long after each therapy session ends. Ultimately, Deep Creek Physical Therapy aims to restore confidence, joy, and comfort to its clients. The mobile practice proudly serves neighbors, friends, and families across Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Englewood, North Port, and Venice. To learn more or schedule an appointment, call 941-288-0012 or visit DeepCreekPhysicalTherapy.com.

For many older adults, Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period is a chance to review your health coverage for the year ahead. But it’s also a good time to think about who will be helping you stay healthy. Consider finding an insurance broker to help you with the process. Because they work with multiple carriers, they can explain your options and help you compare Medicare plans that fit your healthcare needs. It’s also smart to review your plan options each year. Your healthcare needs can change, and Medicare plans do, too. An annual review can help ensure

your coverage, providers, and benefits are still the right fit. Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period is also the time to consider changes to your primary care provider. Look for a practice designed for adults age 60+ that gives you more time with your doctor, emphasizes preventive care, and builds lasting relationships. That’s the philosophy behind ArchWell Health. Our value-based care model gives doctors more time with each member to provide personalized care that helps them stay healthier. To learn more, call (941) 297-2126 or visit ArchWellHealth.com.

Healthcare for Paul’s next gig.

At age 71, Paul, our member from Tucson, is enjoying his second act as a singersongwriter, and he’s not about to let COPD stop the music. He counts on his primary care provider at ArchWell Health to catch small problems before they become bigger issues, so nothing unexpected comes up on the road. Just in case, he keeps the number for our 24-hour, nights-and-weekends phone line handy for the added confidence he needs to sing his heart out each night.

SARASOTA CASH HOME BUYERS: A SIMPLE, SENIOR-FRIENDLY WAY TO SELL MASTER YOUR HOME PAGE

Sarasota Cash Home Buyers:

A Simple, Senior-Friendly Way to Sell Your Home If you’re a senior homeowner in Sarasota, selling your home may be part of an important life transition— downsizing, moving closer to family, relocating to a retirement community, or simply wanting less responsibility. While those changes can be exciting, the traditional home-selling process often feels stressful and exhausting. Between repairs, cleaning, showings, and long timelines, many seniors find themselves asking: Is there an easier way? For many Sarasota homeowners, the answer is yes. Sarasota Cash Home Buyers offers a straightforward option for seniors who want to sell their homes with less hassle. Instead of listing your home and waiting for the right buyer, you can request a cash offer and decide what works best for your situation. One of the biggest advantages for seniors is the ability to sell your home as-is. That means you don’t need to spend time or money on repairs, renovations, or updates. If your home needs a new roof, has outdated bathrooms, or simply has years of belongings you don’t want to sort through, you can still sell without the pressure of “fixing everything” first.

walk through. A cash sale can be much more private and comfortable, especially if you’re still living in the home and want a calmer process. Sarasota Cash Home Buyers also helps remove the uncertainty that comes with many traditional transactions. Cash offers can be provided quickly, and because there’s no bank financing involved, you can often avoid delays caused by appraisals or loan approvals. That means fewer surprises and a smoother path to closing. Just as important, seniors appreciate flexibility. Some homeowners need to sell quickly due to a move or healthrelated transition, while others need extra time to plan. Sarasota Cash Home Buyers allows you to choose a closing date that fits your timeline, fast or flexible. If you’re a senior in Sarasota looking to sell your home without repairs, showings, and long waiting periods, a local cash buyer can be a smart option. Sarasota Cash Home Buyers provides a simple, no-pressure way to explore your options and move forward with confidence—so you can focus on what’s next, not on a stressful sale.

Another major benefit is avoiding the disruption of showings and open houses. Traditional sales can require constant cleaning and leaving your home repeatedly while strangers 104 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – ANNUAL 2027

Supporting Veterans through their “Home-Goods for Heroes” Initiative Helping Hearts for Heroes launched the “Home-Goods for Heroes Drive” with one mission: to help veterans and their families create safe, and welcoming homes. Many of the heroes served are transitioning into permanent housing, facing financial hardships, or rebuilding their lives after challenging circumstances. Through the Home-Goods for Heroes Drive, brand new household items are collected from the community and are distributed to veterans who are in need for free. These donations may include bedroom, kitchen and bathroom

essentials, such as linens, cookware, dishes, and shower curtains. Although they may be home-good items, they play a vital role in restoring their dignity, stability, and hope. For a Veteran, a set of dishes or new bedding can transform an empty space into a home. The Home-Goods for Heroes Drive is more than a donation program, it’s a community effort to honor, support, and give back to those who have served. If you know of a Veteran who needs assistance or would like to host a donation box, or volunteer, please call 941-214-0258.

AGING IN PLACE WITH CONFIDENCE: HOW WHITSYMS IN-HOME CARE SUPPORTS SARASOTA SENIORS

SENIORS Blue Book

Aging in Place with Confidence: How Whitsyms In-Home Care Supports Sarasota Seniors For many older adults, staying in the home they love is just as important as staying healthy. Whitsyms In-Home Care has served Sarasota families since 1996, helping seniors age in place safely, comfortably, and with dignity. With nearly 30% of Sarasota residents aged 65 and older, the need for flexible, personalized home care continues to grow. Whitsyms meets that need by offering a full spectrum of services - from light companionship to skilled nursing - so families can find exactly the right level of support as needs change over time. Companion Care For seniors who don’t require hands-on assistance but shouldn’t be alone, companion care provides conversation, engagement, and help with light housekeeping or errands. It’s often the first step families take when a loved one begins needing a little extra support. Personal Care When day-to-day tasks like bathing, dressing, or mobility become difficult, personal care services provide hands-on assistance tailored to each individual’s routine and preferences. Specialized & Skilled Care Whitsyms also refers care providers trained in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, post-operative recovery, and skilled nursing needs such as wound

care, medication management, and catastrophic care - allowing many seniors to recover or manage chronic conditions at home instead of in a facility. Respite & Live-In Care Family caregivers can arrange temporary respite care for a much needed break, or set up full-time live-in care for loved ones who need around-the-clock support.

Whitsyms In-Home Care has served Sarasota families since 1996, helping seniors age in place safely, comfortably, and with dignity. A Personal, Local Approach Every relationship begins with a free in-home consultation, where a Client Care Liaison gets to know the senior and family, then works with referred care providers to build a plan of care. If a different care provider is ever needed, Whitsyms honors that request immediately. As part of a larger network of sister companies across Florida, Whitsyms combines the resources to serve families statewide with the personal, local feel of a hometown support system. Editor’s Note: To learn more or schedule a free consultation, contact the Sarasota office at (941)524-4076 or (941)275-4879.

INDEPENDENT LIVINGMASTER DEFINITIONS PAGE

SENIORS Blue Book

INDEPENDENT LIVING DEFINITIONS

Independent Living Definitions 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 “age-targeted” 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. CCRC/LIFECARE: Continuing Care Retirement Community otherwise known as Life Care, offers a campus-style 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.

Independent & Assisted Lifestyles Annual ~ Seasonal ~ Trial ~ Respite Stays Boutique Community in a Vibrant Neighborhood Convenient to Area Arts, Attractions, Beaches, Events, Fine Dining, and Theatres.

MORE THAN A HOME SALE For many seniors, selling a home is part of a larger transition. Our goal is not simply to buy houses. Our goal is to help families reduce stress during an important chapter of life. Many people are surprised to learn that a direct sale can often eliminate months of uncertainty, carrying costs, repairs, inspections, and unexpected expenses that frequently arise during a traditional home sale. The result is greater peace of mind and the ability to focus on what matters most: your next step.

Certainty. Flexibility. Peace of Mind.

THE NEXT GENERATION OF RETIREMENT LIVING HAS MASTER ARRIVED! PAGE

SENIORS Blue Book

The Next Generation of Retirement Living Has Arrived! Baby Boomers are now entering retirement in large numbers, and they have a very different set of expectations than previous generations. Gen X, meanwhile, is next in line and already shaping the future of senior living communities. They are active, connected, independent, and accustomed to choice. This new generation of retirees is asking a different set of questions. There is less focus on “When will I need retirement living?” and more emphasis on “What kind of lifestyle do I want for the next chapter of my life?” That shift in perspective is changing retirement living. Now it is time to address some elephants in the room. Retirement communities have a complicated history, and with that come lingering misconceptions. One of the common reactions people have when they first explore retirement communities sounds something like this: “I’m not ready for this yet.” “This place is for old people.” “I don’t want a nursing home.” Retirement no longer means stepping away from life. For many people, it means creating more room for the parts of life they enjoy most: travel, hobbies, family, wellness, and community involvement — personal interests that may have

been postponed during busier years. Today’s retirees want flexibility more than anything else; they want fewer obligations, but also more opportunities. In today’s retirement communities, residents continue to set their own schedules, pursue their own interests, and live life on their own terms. The difference is that many of the responsibilities that once demanded time and attention have been simplified or handled altogether. This creates more opportunities to learn, connect, explore, and participate. At Seaside Springs Retirement Community, that evolution is reflected in everyday life. Thoughtfully prepared meals, housekeeping, transportation, and opportunities for connection and engagement are all designed to simplify daily responsibilities without taking away the freedom to choose how each day unfolds. The conversation around retirement living is changing because retirement itself is changing. People are living longer, staying active longer, and approaching this stage of life with a different mindset than generations before them. They are not looking to step away from life. They are looking for more freedom to enjoy it. Editor’s Note: Article submitted by John Reel, Resort Lifestyle Communities.

LIVE THE LIFE YOU DESERVE AT THE ALLORO AT UNIVERSITY GROVES

Live the Life You Deserve at The Alloro at University Groves

owadays, 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 - Active-Adult 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, hassle-free 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 seniors.

In 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 emphasize providing its residents the freedom they

ASSISTED LIVINGMASTER DEFINITIONS PAGE

SENIORS Blue Book

ASSISTED LIVING DEFINITIONS

Assisted Living Definitions WHAT ARE ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES? Assisted living provides a combination of housing, personal care services, and health care designed to respond to individuals who need assistance with normal daily activities in a way that promotes maximum independence. Services include, but are not limited to: • Nutritional meals and special diets • Supervision and assistance with personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, transfers, and eating) • Health monitoring • Assistance with self-administration of medications • Arrange for health care and mental health services • Provide or arrange for transportation to medical appointments • Housekeeping and Laundry services • Daily social and leisure activities • Supervise residents with dementia and/or cognitive impairments • Provide or arrange for rehabilitative services • Provide escort services to medical appointments • Educational programs to promote health and prevent illness

TYPES OF ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY LICENSES: There are four 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 four 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 same services as a Standard License 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. LNS services include but are not limited to: • Nursing assessments • Administration of medications • Measurement and recording of vital signs and weight • Dietary management, including special diets, monitoring nutrition, food, and fluid intake

170 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – ANNUAL 2027

SENIORSBLUEBOOK.COM

EXTENDED CONGREGATE CARE (ECC) LICENSE: An assisted living community with an ECC license allows a resident to age in place. In addition to LNS services, ECC communitites provide: • Total help with bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting • Assistance with (non-nasogastric) tube feeding LIMITED MENTAL HEALTH LICENSE: An assisted living community that serves three or more mental health residents. The basic services of assisted living are provided to the resident. In addition to these services, LMH license provides mental heatlh services to support the individual.

The same license rules apply as assisted living. Staff members are trained for the special needs of this population. 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.

MASTER PAGE ASSISTED LIVING DEFINITIONS

• Diabetes management, oxygen administration, and wound care

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 MEDICAID WAIVER The waiver is available to people who are 60 or older who qualify for Medicaid and are eligible under SSI, MEDS-AD, or ICP. The waiver program does not cover the entire bill in a assisted living community. TM

HERITAGE OAKS OF ENGLEWOOD: PERSONALIZED CARE, COMFORT, AND MEANINGFUL LIVING

SENIORS Blue Book

Heritage Oaks of Englewood: Personalized Care, Comfort, and Meaningful Living Choosing assisted living is not simply about finding help with daily routines. It is about finding a community where comfort, independence, connection, and dependable care come together. Heritage Oaks of Englewood provides that balance through personalized support, inviting surroundings, and opportunities that help residents remain active and engaged. Residents can choose from studio, one-bedroom, grand one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartment styles, allowing individuals and couples to select a space that feels comfortable and personal. Housekeeping, maintenance, linen service, utilities, and local transportation are included, reducing everyday responsibilities and giving residents more time to enjoy life. The community offers amenities designed for relaxation, wellness, and social connection. Residents can spend time in the gardens and courtyard, practice on the putting green, exercise, visit the library, enjoy a movie, or gather with friends at the bar and bistro. A beauty salon and barber shop also make personal care convenient. Heritage Oaks provides personalized assisted living services designed to support each resident’s individual health, safety, and daily needs.

Depending on the resident’s care plan, services may include medication management, diabetes support, oxygen assistance, catheter or ostomy care, and help with activities of daily living.

THE RIGHT SUPPORT CHANGES EVERYTHING

SENIORS Blue Book

The Right Support Changes Everything Imagine waking up each morning knowing the day is yours to enjoy. Breakfast is waiting, your calendar is filled with activities you actually look forward to, and if you need a helping hand, it’s there without sacrificing your independence. For families caring for someone living with dementia, peace of mind can feel just as life-changing. Knowing a loved one is surrounded by compassionate associates who truly understand their needs allows families to spend less time worrying and more time simply being together. At The Windsor of Venice and The Windsor of Lakewood Ranch, Assisted Living is designed to make everyday life easier while helping residents continue doing what they love. Personalized support with daily tasks, chef-prepared dining, housekeeping, transportation, and engaging life enrichment programs free residents from the responsibilities of home ownership, allowing them to focus on friendships, wellness, and new experiences. It’s a lifestyle that encourages independence while providing the confidence that support is always nearby. For those living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia,

The Windsor of Venice and Windsor Reflections offer specialized Memory Care rooted in person-centered support. Associates take the time to learn each resident’s life story, preferences, and routines, creating personalized experiences that foster comfort, connection, and purpose. Thoughtfully designed environments and meaningful daily programming help residents engage in ways that are familiar, enriching, and reassuring. Whether you’re exploring Assisted Living for yourself or Memory Care for someone you love, The Windsor communities offer more than exceptional care. They provide the opportunity to embrace each day with greater confidence, comfort, and connection. Visit one of The Windsor communities to experience the lifestyle firsthand, meet the people who make it so special, and discover what everyday life could look like for you or someone you love.

SENIORS Blue Book

SKILLED NURSING DEFINITIONS

Skilled Nursing Definitions SKILLED NURSING COMMUNITY (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. METHODS OF PAYMENT: Not all nursing homes accept all forms of payments. Furthermore, some nursing homes are limited in the number of beds available for a particular payment form. MEDICARE: Medicare is a Federal program that serves people 65 and older and those with certain disabilities, regardless of income. Qualified individuals are automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A, but must apply to become eligible for Part B coverage. Medicare generally pays for the first twenty days in a nursing home following a hospital stay of at least three days. Medicare generally pays a portion of the nursing home bill (after the first 20 days) for up to 100 days per year. MEDICAID: Medicaid is a stateadministered medical assistance program that serves low-income

families, those 65 and older, people who are blind, and people who are disabled. You must apply and qualify for Medicaid before you are eligible for Medicaid coverage. Schedule an appointment with your local Department of Children and Family Services’ Medicaid Eligibility office to determine if you are financially eligible for Medicaid. Applicants must demonstrate that assets and income are below a maximum level, as well as other criteria in order to be eligible. Medicaid applicants must also meet medical eligibility for nursing home placement. SPEECH THERAPY (ST): Assesses and treats speech and swallowing disorders. Provides individually designed treatment programs to maximize communicative effectiveness for the client, such as stroke, head injury, laryngectomy, voice disorders, as well as cognitive deficits.

TRACH CARE: Refers to care administered to patients who have undergone a tracheotomy. A tracheotomy is a surgical procedure in which a cut or opening is made in the windpipe (trachea). The surgeon inserts a tube into the opening to bypass an obstruction, allow air to get to the lungs, or remove secretions. OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY (OT): Assesses and treats small motor function. Utilizes rehabilitative techniques of exercise, splinting and assistive devices

206 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – ANNUAL 2027

PHYSICAL THERAPY (PT): Refers to assessing and treating large motor function, utilizing rehabilitative techniques of exercise, gait training, prosthetics, and heat to restore the client to his/ her highest functional level of strength, range of motion and mobility. ABOUT THE AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION Our Agency was statutorily created by Chapter 20, Florida Statutes as the chief health policy and planning entity for the state. We are primarily responsible for the state’s estimated $25.2 billion Medicaid program that will serve a projected 4.27 million Floridians in SFY 2016-17, the licensure of the state’s 48,500 health care facilities and the sharing of health care data through the Florida Center for Health Information and Policy Analysis. This year we are working to continue to reduce the number of uninsured across the state, to enhance our ability to target fraudulent providers, to reduce unnecessary regulation, and to reduce administrative costs in order to ensure that dollars go to serve patients and more. This site gives you access to

pull up records on every senior living community and home health agency.
