How people pay for memory care in Venice

For many seniors and their families, paying for memory care in Venice often entails a combination of private and public resources. Below, you can find details on a variety of payment methods, including personal funds, VA benefits, Medicaid, and Medicare.

VA benefits

Number of veterans who live in Venice

About 57% of Venice veterans are over the age of 75

A range of benefits is available to veterans living in the Venice area that could help offset the costs of living in a memory care facility. Certain eligibility requirements apply to each benefit, so it’s important to review your options. There’s a full list located on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website, but we’ve pulled out some of the most relevant benefits below:

  • VA Pension: The VA Pension is a tax-free, needs-based benefit set up to supplement veterans incomes. As a supplement, it can be put toward living expenses, including the costs of a memory care facility. To be eligible, your loved one must have been honorably discharged and meet certain requirements.
  • VA Aid & Attendance: Aid & Attendance is a tax-free benefit paid in addition to the VA Pension to wartime veterans who require assistance with daily life activities (i.e., bathing, grooming, eating, etc.). This benefit can often be of great use in offsetting the cost of memory care in Venice.
  • VA Disability Compensation: The VA Disability Compensation is another tax-free benefit for veterans who require assistance with daily activities due to a service-connected disability or an existing condition worsened by military service. This benefit can be used toward both housing and health-related expenses, so it could be of value in offsetting the costs of memory care.

Besides the more traditional VA benefits, Florida-based veterans may also be eligible for the Unmet Needs program. The program was established by the Veterans of Foreign Wars to offer assistance to veterans facing financial hardships. It awards up to $1,500 to cover basic life needs.

The VA benefits system can be complicated, so you may have questions. Luckily, veterans services organizations (VSOs) can help. In the Venice area, the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Disabled American Veterans can all connect you with a veterans services officer. So can the Sarasota County Veterans Service Office. A veterans services officer will be able to help you determine eligibility and walk you and your loved one through the claims process.

Medicaid

Depending on your loved one’s age, income, and personal assets, Medicaid — or Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC), as it’s known in Florida — may help you offset the costs of memory care. The program doesn’t cover room and board, but it does cover care administered by a registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, or qualified home health aid.

SMMC is administered by the Agency for Health Care Administration. For in-home help, you might qualify for a home and community based services waiver, which can be applied toward a range of care services, including those offered at a memory care facility. For example, the Long-Term Care Waiver can help pay for attendant care, assistive care services, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, medication administration and management, and a number of other services.

Just know that the application process can be complex; you may have a few questions about coverage. If you need assistance, the Florida Department of Elder Affairs and the Area Agency on Aging offer Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders (SHINE). This program provides financial counseling to Medicaid recipients. There’s also the Florida Ombudsman Program, which offers long-term care advocacy support.

Medicare

If your loved one is at least 65 or diagnosed with a specific illness or disability, then they’re eligible for Medicare, a federal health insurance program.

Medicare doesn’t cover custodial care at a memory care facility, such as room and board. However, it can be put toward care-related services for seniors with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia. Covered services can include inpatient care treatments, physician fees, some medical equipment, and short-term skilled nursing care for up to 100 days.

Depending on individual circumstances, your loved one may also be eligible to join the Medicare Advantage Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) Model. VBID offers additional benefits, reduced cost sharing, and more flexible plans to individuals with chronic conditions, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Beyond that, it may be of benefit to look into one or more of the following Medicare-related programs for additional assistance:

Seniors and their families can apply for Medicare through the Social Security Administration’s online application. If you have any questions or need any help, a SHINE counselor, a Social Security Administration representative, or your local long-term care ombudsman can assist you.

Understand Florida laws and regulations for memory care facilities

Memory care is considered a subset of assisted living in the state of Florida. Therefore, any community offering such a service in Florida must abide by the same regulations and obtain a standard license through the Bureau of Health Facility Regulation. Additional licenses are available for communities that offer limited nursing services (LNS), extended congregate care (ECC), or limited mental health services (LMH).

For instance, communities with an ECC license must train staff members to care for people with dementia. ECC facilities must also provide residents with 24-hour staffing and a means of non-pharmaceutical intervention in case of wandering. Interventions might include alarmed doors, window stops, enclosed outdoor areas, and similar safety mechanisms.

In addition to licensing requirements, memory care facilities are subject to regular inspections. These inspections will assess whether a facility is following all rules outlined by its type of license. If you would like to review past inspection reports, visit the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration website.

Why do licensure and inspection reports matter to families?

State regulations — and a community’s track record with inspections and licensing — offer important insights into safety and quality of care in senior living communities.

Download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports to learn what to look for in inspection reports and what questions to ask when touring communities. This resource explains how to use state licensure and inspection information to evaluate a community’s compliance, care standards, and responsiveness to issues.

COVID-19 regulations for Venice memory care facilities

Florida has no specific COVID-19 guidelines outside of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations. However, some memory care facilities may have their own regulations in place to protect residents and staff. We suggest checking with the facility prior to visiting.

What to expect from memory care living in Venice

With its beautiful beaches and subtropical climate, Venice is a haven for retirees. If you’re looking for a memory care facility for your loved one, there are plenty of options in Venice. Choosing a community can be difficult, but you can rest assured that the staff members will meet your loved one’s medical, physical, and social needs. Memory care facilities are designed to improve residents’ quality of life in a safe and secure environment.

Transitional care opportunities

The majority of communities we partner with offering memory care in the Venice area also provide other senior living arrangements, such as assisted living, independent living, adult day care, and residential care homes. These transitional care facilities allow residents to age in place, which is especially important as dementia progresses. In Venice, you’ll find the following types of communities that we partner with:

  • 3 stand-alone memory care facilities
  • 5 memory care plus assisted living facilities
  • 1 memory care, assisted living, and adult day care facility
  • 5 combination memory care, assisted living, and independent living facilities
  • 1 memory care and residential care home

Residential care homes are unique because they provide a more intimate, personalized experience. This arrangement can be especially great for seniors who need more individualized care at a lower price point.

Memory care services

For the most part, you can expect memory care facilities we partner with in the Venice area to offer services and programming related to Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Facilities often provide care for exit-seeking behaviors, wandering, restlessness, pacing, and disorientation. Many of our partner facilities also provide redirection and cueing services.

What’s more, many communities offer additional health care services. Most have visiting practitioners. Your loved one can receive occupational, physical, and speech therapy while living in a memory care facility.

Amenities and activities

Memory care facilities are known for their safety and security. After all, they cater to residents who may be prone to wandering. But they also provide plentiful amenities and activities to seniors. For instance, depending on the community you choose, your loved one can enjoy an arts and crafts center or movie room. Most of our partner facilities also have an activity director, so your loved one will be able to go on accompanied day trips.

Transportation for seniors in Venice

Getting around Venice isn’t a problem for seniors at one of our partner memory care communities. In our partner network, 73% of facilities offer complimentary transportation to residents.[01] At-cost transportation options are available in 47% of our partner communities.

If you need other options when you visit your loved one, Venice does have public transportation accommodations. The Sarasota County Area Transportation operates SCATPlus, a curb-to-curb rideshare service for individuals who are unable to use fixed routes. This service is perfect for seniors with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia because care attendants ride for free. The cost per trip is just $3.00 for eligible seniors.

Senior activities in Venice

Memory care communities design programming according to residents’ physical and cognitive abilities. This means seniors can participate in fun activities alongside family and friends. While visiting your loved one in Venice, you might take part in a cooking class, gardening, arts and crafts, and more. These activities allow residents to socialize and improve their dexterity.

However, if you’re looking to explore the city of Venice, there are some activities you can do with your loved one. Centennial Park, for instance, offers visitors the chance to walk paths with beautiful landscaping. The park is pet-friendly, and you might even hear some live music. There’s also Caspersen Beach. You and your loved one can sit on the beach or walk a nature trail through dunes, marshes, mangroves, and tidal flats. The boardwalk is also accessible if your loved one has limited mobility.

Got a Sunday afternoon free? There’s always the Venice Farmers’ Market. You and your loved one will enjoy browsing the vendors selling bread, seafood, crafts, and more. Depending on where you are in the market, you may also get a chance to listen to live music from one of the area’s musicians.

Birdwatchers may be interested in visiting the Venice Area Audubon Society. The “rookery” is open from dawn to dusk and offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy some free birdwatching. If you or your loved one really wants to get involved, there are a number of programs available, such as birding field trips, bird stewardship, a pollinator garden, and more.

Of course, you can’t forget the Venice Fishing Pier. Seniors and their families can drop a line anywhere along the structure’s 700 feet or simply enjoy the sunset after a long day.

Outside of Venice, the city of Sarasota is another attractive option. Catch some rays with your loved one at Lido Beach and Siesta Key Beach, or explore the Ringling for a cultural tour of its estate, museums, gardens, and more.
