Many times, families begin their online search with sentences like, Elder Care Home Services or In- Home Services for Seniors as an alternative to Assisted Living Facility or a Nursing Home. Families are starting to realize that In-home care for the elderly is not always the best choice financially. That’s when families begin to search for an Assisted Living Facility near them, without understanding what to ask or look for, or what they really need, based on the care, budget, and geographical needs. At times, a Medicaid Nursing Home is recommended or is the appropriate choice for a specific moment.

By Humberto Fortuna MA, MS Let’s figure out what’s important in selecting an Assisted Living Facility in Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County of Southeast Florida. Many of you are looking for a community that is beautiful and fancy. While you want it to be nice, you have to realize the true needs of the person who will be living there. You know your loved one better than anyone else. Would a chandelier and marble floor be important to them? If it is, then you may have to take that into consideration. Otherwise, those items could make your loved one feel uncomfortable if he or she is not used to it. Also, while looking for communities to visit, remember that the largest and most expensive advertisement doesn’t always represent the most loving and caring place. When looking for communities, you can ask friends, go on the internet, talk to your clergy, look in the phone book, call a placement agency, or a social service agency. Having a Placement agency assisting you in the search can be beneficial for your loved one. PCC is just a phone call away and our local counselors near you will help you find the correct Assisted living facility free of charge.

By Humberto Fortuna MA, MS The answer is NO. Many people believe Medicare will pay for long stays or for Long term Care in a nursing home for older adults, but it DOES NOT! Medicare will pay for skilled care SERVICES and Therapy services for their recipients. Medicare will only cover services for a short period of time. Medicare will cover for a maximum of 100 days, a Short-Term Care time in a skilled nursing home, or also called Rehab, or Rehabilitation center for someone who needs special care or skilled care after leaving a hospital. Medicare is a federal benefit. So, Medicare will give you services and care for a short period of time but not for Long Term Care. When thinking about costs and what is covered by Medicare in a Short term stay, keep in mind that there can be extra, out of pocket charges for supplies, personal care; like hair appointments, laundry, and services that are outside routine care. After your Short-term rehabilitation stay in a Rehabilitation Center or Skilled Nursing Facility you will be transferred home, to a Long term Care unit or to an Assisted living Facility or possibly an Independent living Community.

By Humberto Fortuna MA, MS Nursing Home Care can be paid in the following ways: Private Pay: Some people pay for nursing home care with their own funds, usually savings, until that is depleted. When that is no longer possible, they may qualify for some type of governmental assistance such as Medicaid. Medicaid will evaluate finances and level of care needs on a case-by-case basis and determine if one is eligible for Medicaid Institutional Care Services under Medicaid guidelines. Medicaid: Medicaid is a State/Federal program that provides health benefits to people with low income. There are many types of programs under Medicaid Benefits. The Institutional Care Program (ICP) is the nursing home program that will pay for care if the patient qualifies financially and clinically. Long Term Care Insurance: In many cases, individuals have purchased a Long-Term Care Insurance Policy. These policies may pay part of the cost for a nursing home or other long term care services that must be paid for such as home care, assisted living care, etc… This type of insurance is sold by many different companies. Most facilities are paid for by private, “out of pocket” funds. However, financial assistance can be found through the Veteran’s Administration, Long Term Care Insurance, and state programs like Medicaid, if certain requirements are met.

REQUEST FREE INFORMATION HERE These days, Retirement Homes or Senior Living Facilities are the most searchable words online, as families are looking for an Alternative Housing or a place for Mom, Dad or a loved one. Many times, families begin their online search with sentences like, Elder Care Home Services or In- Home Services for Seniors as an alternative to Assisted Living Facility or a Nursing Home. Families are starting to realize that In-home care for the elderly is not always the best choice financially. That’s when families begin to search for an Assisted Living Facility near them, without understanding what to ask or look for, or what they really need, based on the care, budget, and geographical needs. At times, a Medicaid Nursing Home is recommended or is the appropriate choice for a specific moment.

By Humberto Fortuna MA, MS Many people believe Medicare Advantage plans will pay for long term care stays in a Nursing Home or in an Assisted Living Apartment facility in Florida, but it DOES NOT!. Not in Miami Dade, Broward nor in Palm Beach County. Medicare Advantage plans will only pay for skilled care services / therapy services in Florida. They will pay for what is called, Short-Term Care in a (SNF) Skilled Nursing Home Facility. Also, these SNF are called Rehab, or Rehabilitation Center. These type of Care facilities are dedicated for someone who needs special care after leaving a hospital stay and it is prescribed by a physician. The number of days covered by these Medicare Advantage plans are determined by the network which the person is a part of. So, Medicare Advantage plans will give you Rehabilitation Services in a Skilled Nursing Facility (Nursing Home) or in a Rehabilitation Center for a short period of time as long as it was approved by your provider. When thinking about costs, keep in mind that there can be extra, out of pocket charges for supplies, personal care, such as hair appointments, laundry, and services that are outside routine care that are not covered by your healthcare insurance. After your short-term rehabilitation stay in a Rehabilitation Center or Skilled Nursing Center the patient will be transferred to Home, Long term Care unit or into an Assisted living Facility or an Independent Living Community.

By Humberto Fortuna MA, MS Assisted Living, Elder care Community tours and visits. Many people like to just “show up” at an Assisted Living community without an appointment. These people are called “show-uppers.” This is a NO! NO! There are many reasons why this is NOT a good idea. The most important one is time. If you show up for a tour at an Assisted Living Facility or Alzheimer’s Dementia Special Memory Care units without an appointment, there may be another family touring and you may have to wait a long time until they can get to you. Keep in mind that good Long Term Care communities in southeast Florida do take time with each family. You would want this same treatment for you and your family as well. So, don’t be a “SHOW-UPPER!” Another important reason you should make an appointment to tour any Long Term Care Facility such a Nursing Home, Skilled Nursing facility, Assisted Living or Alzheimer’s Dementia Special Memory Care locked secured unit is the fact that you want to tour the community with the Sales or Marketing Representative, not a receptionist or office worker as a fill in. While they may be able to show you around, they are not going to be able to answer all of your questions and give you the personal attention that you will require in making this important decision.
