I am/was a resident of this facilityReview of Belleair Towers

I have been a resident of Belleair Towers for 2 weeks now. The community is fine. It's quiet and its clean. It's a 1-bedroom apartment and it's a nice size. They also have studio and 2-room units. The staff was fine and they clean the rooms once a week. I had just gotten out of the hospital, so I'm not familiar with the amenities and activities yet. They set appointments and they have some concerts available. They provide 3 meals a day. You either have it delivered to your room or have it at the dining area.

My wife and I are currently at Belleair Towers. The service is adequate for now. They kinda cut back on activities now due to Coronavirus. They're not encouraging group activities but they keep the residents busy. They have a library, a pool, and an exercise area. They don't encourage you to the dining area right now. Most of the meals are delivered to your room, and the food is good. Our room is spacious, clean, and nice. They have housekeeping.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Palm Garden of Clearwater

Palm Garden of Clearwater is a very nice place. Everything is very well and seems to be topnotch. I'm not allowed to go in and participate and see what mom's doing, but basically she is in a wheelchair and bedridden. She's non-weight bearing, and they wheel her around to different areas where she can go to the cafeteria and communicate with other people. She doesn't participate in any sort of activities really that I'm aware of. This place was a recommendation of a surgeon in the hospital she went to for her surgery. It was right down the road and they recommended it. My mother seems to enjoy the food. She eats very well, and based on talking to her, she seems to be very pleased with it. The staff members seem to be very good.

I visited this facilityReview of Belleair Towers

I toured Belleair Towers. As a visitor I very much appreciated that they were allowing actual visits in the current environment so that I could at least see the physical space as opposed to just a virtual tour. They were running screenings, they checked my temperature, I had to fill out a form on my condition, and obviously they kept me away from the residents. All of that makes perfect sense, so I was very happy with all of that. I met with John, who was the manager on site. The room that I saw was a two-bedroom and I believe it was in the North tower. I thought it was a nice size, there was room for what I was looking for, and that all looked very good. The bedrooms were a little small, but it had a big living/dining area which I think was more useful than a big bedroom. The amenities were presented, the activities were discussed, and obviously the activities were limited in the current environment.

I visited this facilityReview of Belleair Towers

We went to Belleair Towers and we were accommodated and shown everything and they answered all our questions. Their independent living was rather small. I personally would rather have more people to be acquainted with and there were only 50 of them in the independent living, but it was a very nice facility and we enjoyed the visit. They had the pool, exercise room, activities, and transportation service.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Grand Villa of Clearwater

It is a beautiful, clean place, and I'm really happy that my friend is there. People are very nice and communicate with each other. The residents all look very happy there, so I'm very pleased. I like the sizes of the rooms. If I would have to go in there, I would personally pick the one with the extra bedroom, living room, and kitchen, but the room my friend picked is pretty decent. They have a lot of games, get-togethers, and a Christmas party tomorrow. They have lots of activities and take them out to doctor's appointments and to Walmart. They do a lot for the residents. They invited us for a meal, but I already had lunch when we went. The people are very friendly and very nice.

Atria Countryside was very good and clean and had a good layout and good people. The people who helped me were wonderful, and the dining area and rooms were good. The interior looked like an apartment complex.

My mom liked Atria Countryside's food, location, one-bedroom she's going to be living in, and area that it's in. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. She's starting out with independent, but you can get whatever services you need. The food was very good. We had a couple of meals there.

My mother moved into Pacifica Senior Living Belleair. I like the individual cottages for the residents, and I like that the place has a home-like atmosphere. The staff is very good, kind, and friendly. The food is also really good. My mother likes it compared to where she was before. She enjoys a certain activity program that they had, and she seems very happy with them.

Care Cost Comparison

Senior care costs are largely based on the level of care needed, the services that are included and the location. In Clearwater, nursing home care is more than twice the cost of assisted living and home care. Both homemaker and home health aide services are more costly than assisted living. When comparing the costs of all types of care, it’s important to consider expenses that are not included with in-home services such as rent, utilities, food and home maintenance.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Clearwater

Medicaid in Florida

Medicaid is a nationwide health insurance program designed to provide low-income, low-asset Americans with access to basic health services. It is jointly funded by the federal and state governments, and in Florida, Medicaid is administered by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration.

Seniors in Florida may be eligible for Medicaid coverage if they have a monthly income of $2,313 or less when applying as a single or $4,626 in joint income when applying with a spouse. Medicaid considers income from all sources including pensions, annuities, alimony and wages.

Asset limits also apply for Medicaid applicants. Individuals may own no more than $2,000 in countable assets, and couples can jointly own no more than $3,000 in countable assets including cash, checking account balances, stocks and investment real estate.

Under Medicaid rules, personal belongings, household effects, one vehicle and a primary residence valued at $585,000 or less are rated as exempt assets.

Seniors aged 65 and older who qualify for Florida Medicaid and require care normally found in a nursing home may be eligible for personal care services while residing in the community or in an assisted living facility. The Florida Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long Term Care Program (SMMC LTC) is designed to reduce the rates of nursing home placement in the state by providing financial assistance to seniors for use towards a homemaker, home health care aide or other supports.

To learn more about Medicaid and the SMMC LTC program, call the Agency for Health Care Administration at (877) 711-3662 or the Florida Elder Helpline at (800) 963-5337.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Optional State Supplementation

Low-income Florida seniors who reside in a licensed assisted living facility may be eligible for benefits through the Optional State Supplementation (OSS) program.

This cash-based Supplemental Security Income (SSI) top-up benefit can be used towards the room and board portion of assisted living costs if the senior is unable to live independently as a result of a disability or age-related deterioration.

Applicants are required to meet financial and personal care eligibility criteria. If approved, individual seniors may receive maximum monthly OSS benefits of $78.40 for an individual and $156.80 for a couple.

To learn more about the OSS in Florida, call ACCESS Florida at (866) 762-2237.

Veterans Aid and Attendance Benefit

Honorably discharged veterans and their survivors who are eligible to receive a VA pension may qualify for a pension top-up to assist with costs related to a chronic illness, disability or incapacity.

To qualify for the Aid and Attendance benefit, applicants must meet at least one of the following conditions:

Require assistance from a caregiver to manage activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, eating, toileting and/or installing a prosthetic device
Are permanently bedridden or spend the majority of the day in bed due to a disability or disabilities
Reside in a nursing home as a direct result of cognitive and/or physical deterioration
Have eyesight that when corrected measures at 5/200 or worse
Has concentric contraction to 5 or fewer degrees

Veterans Housebound Allowance

The Veterans Housebound allowance is a VA pension top-up allowance available to recipients of the VA pension who:

Have been assessed as 100 percent disabled by a VA assessor
Are largely confined to their principal residence as a direct result of their disability or disabilities

Note that for both the Aid and Attendance benefit and the Housebound Allowance, disabilities do not need to be service-related. If approved, applicants may only collect benefits for one of these two programs even if they meet the criteria for both benefits.

To learn more about these VA pension top-up programs contact the Clearwater Vet Center at (727) 549-3600.
