SECTION IX- Skilled Nursing Facilities

Skilled nursing facilities are legally classified and licensed as such by
the state of Florida.
All facilities listed provide full nursing care to meet a variety of needs.
The nursing facilities differ in size and environment. All of them welcome
inquiries and provide on-site tours and information.
The patient’s physician will often be involved in the decision to be admit-
ted to a nursing facility, but will not select the facility. The physician must
write an order for nursing facility care for those covered by Medicare or
Medicaid. Prospective nursing facilities should be visited before selection
and assessment made for criteria such as:

• Fees and insurance coverage

• Physical facilities and environment

• Services provided, including amenities

• Staff size and duties

The patient or family should try to talk with families of people who are in
nursing facilities. Asking questions of the nursing facility staff is very important.

* Long-Term Care Insurance for custodial care in a nursing facility is available
through private insurance carriers. Custodial care is not covered by Medicare
or most Medicare Supplement policies. Such insurance, if indicated by personal
finances and other criteria, should be purchased before the applicant requires care.

SECTION X - Home Health Care Services

Home health care providers include state licensed companies and
independent health care professionals. Listed below are types of compa-
nies licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration to provide
services in the home.

Medicare reimbursed intermittent service companies: These companies
are licensed to receive Medicare reimbursement. Their services must be
ordered by a physician, and you must be homebound to be eligible. The
services are intermittent, meaning services are provided for certain times
per week for a certain length of time. These Medicare agencies will provide
nursing care; physical, speech, occupational respiratory and IV therapy;
nutritional guidance and medical social services in the patients home or
place of residence. When your condition has improved, and you have met
your goals, Medicare services are discontinued until you need them and
are eligible again.

Hospice Care
Hospice care is designed to provide comfort, palliative care and support

to patients and their families when a life-limiting illness no longer responds
to cure-oriented care. Hospice care is provided in the patient’s home, family
member’s home, in the nursing facility, ALF (Assisted Living Facility), hospice
houses and hospital hospice inpatient beds. VNA Hospice is the only certified
hospice program in Indian River County providing these services and care.

76 Guide to Medical Services

SECTION X - Home Health Care Services

Private duty custodial service companies: These services are custo-
dial meaning you can request the service for as many hours and as many
days as you need. A doctor’s order is not needed. The services are private
pay, however, as Medicare will not pay for custodial care. Some long term
health care policies and some VA benefits will reimburse these custodial
services. These home health companies may provide home health aides and
homemaker/companion services in the patient’s home or place of residence.
There are three types of licenses given for private duty companies. They
include agencies, registries and companion services.

Types of private duty companies: As mentioned previously, there are
three licenses issued for private duty companies: agencies, registries, and
companion companies. The company’s license number letters will differentiate
the distinction. HHA – agency. NR – registry. HCS – companion.

Agencies - Use their own employees to provide services. These employees
are directly supervised by a Registered Nurse, and the employees are covered
by worker’s compensation and the company’s liability policy. Services may
include nursing, home health aide, and companion care.

SECTION XII - Independent Living Communities

Independent Living is for seniors who are able to live on their own in an
apartment or house, but who want the conveniences of living within a
community that provides services and amenities such as housekeeping,
physical and mental stimulation, dining, transportation, security, or the option
of assistance with daily tasks or medical care if they need it later on. The
most significant difference between assisted living and independent senior
living is the care provided.
