I moved in this week. It's laid out beautifully, and the staff are good, so I'm very happy. It's a modern facility, and it's medium sized. It was very good and very nice. The staff has been very helpful. They have TV rooms, a game room, and everything you need.

The Regency Park lowered my mother's rent, so she wouldn't leave, that's why we're still there. They serve great meals. It is a 5-course meal and that's the only meal they serve; the other ones are out-of-pocket. The people who work there are friendly and serviceable. Her bedroom is a bit small, but the bathroom is huge, and there's a double balcony that's screened in. It's a great layout. They have all the activities, water aerobics, bingo, they have a movie theater, and they have a lot of games.

I visited Regency Park Vero Beach. They describe themselves as cruise ship type accommodations, that was nice. They had one area that was for assisted living, and the other that was independent living. The views outside the windows were not as nice, mostly parking lot style views. The property was nice and well maintained. I think they just had a huge multi-million dollar renovation last year. The villas you have to pay a capital fee. We just looked at the regular rooms, which were two-bedrooms and three-bedrooms. We're looking for like a two-bedroom with a den, so it's almost like we have to have three bedrooms. They were nice. You pay a move in fee and that includes fixing the floor and updating the kitchen and so on. So we would pay a $10,000 entry fee and get everything we wanted in the kitchen and all the floors the way we want it. We looked at what they had, but because of the COVID-19, we could not see the amenities. We saw gymnasiums, yoga room, the indoor and outdoor pools, but they didn't want people that had not been quarantined going to these areas. They were careful. They were trying to protect their residents. The staff was very informative, helpful, kind, and polite. Included in your fee is about $500 of meals. The meals maybe cost $15 a day, so you could have one meal a day; however, if you want more meals you just have to pay more.
Just so you know

Lots to offer, but beware the unexpected Hurricane Surcharge! Single residents who evacuated were surprised after Dorian by a $500. charge, couples $750. Corp. rep told angry residents it was \"not negotiable, was for over-budget pre-storm prep costs, shutters, planters, etc.\". Since when are renters responsible for owner\'s exterior building maintenance?... watch out, there could be more than one hurricane a year. This is gouging the elderly.

My father is in Brookdale Vero Beach South. It's been wonderful. Everybody is accommodating and very knowledgeable. I couldn't be happier. He has a little two-room apartment with a kitchenette. They have games, Bingo, music, an incredible courtyard with a screened-in porch, a library, TV, hairdressers, and a nice dining room. There's not one thing that I complain about. Everyone's great, from the kitchen to the nursing to the administration.

Florida Baptist Retirement Center was so rundown and old. It didn't appeal to anybody that went there with me. The only thing I saw was an independent cottage. It was built in the 1970s and it needs updating. They convert the dining area into a community center after meals. There was nothing that impressed me too much.

Regency Park is very high-end. They have lots of good people. The place itself is well kept up and decorated. They have excellent food too. In fact, I get headaches from preservatives in food, but I had two meals there with no headaches, which is very unusual for me. That's a definite plus. They put us up overnight since it was so far away from where we live now, and that was appreciated. They talked to us about all of the activities. The island is close by, there are good places to go, and there are lots of activities in the area.

It was clean and pleasant. The apartments were adequate and nice. They had some first floor apartments. The staff who toured us around was pleasant and charming. We had lunch, and it was fine. They had a gym, movies, and bingo. They also had a game room and arts and crafts.
According to Genworth’s 2018 Cost of Care study, the average cost of assisted living in Vero Beach is comparable to the state average of $3,500 and lower than the national average of $4,000. Vero Beach assisted living prices are slightly higher than prices in Tampa ($3,250) and Miami ($3,350) and significantly lower than Naples ($5,448) and The Villages ($5,031).
Note: Senior care cost data wasn’t available for Vero Beach, so data for the closest city in the same county, Sebastian, was used.
Cost of Assisted Living Comparision Chart
Senior care costs vary widely based on the type of service, the location and the number of direct care hours provided each month. In Vero Beach, nursing home care costs more than twice what assisted living does, while in-home services, such as homemaker or home health aide, also cost more than assisted living. When comparing the costs of different senior care options it’s important to factor in additional day-to-day expenses of in-home care, such as groceries, utilities and home maintenance. These costs are usually included with residential care services for seniors. Cost of Homemaker/Home Health Aide Comparison Chart

Medicaid is a nationwide health coverage program for low-income, low-asset Americans of all ages. It’s jointly funded by the federal and state governments. In Florida, Medicaid is administered by the Agency for Health Care Administration, a statewide health policy and planning entity of the Florida Department of Children and Families.
Permanent Florida residents aged 65 and older who meet strict income and asset limits may qualify for no-cost Medicaid coverage, including coverage for assisted living costs. Single seniors must earn less than $2,313 a month and own less than $2,000 in countable assets, while couples applying together must earn less than $4,626 a month and own less than $3,000 worth of countable assets.
Income includes wages, pensions, alimony and investment interest. Countable assets include cash and bank account balances, stocks, bonds and all real estate (except for a principal residence of the applicant(s) that is located in Florida and valued at $585,000 or less).
Florida Medicaid applicants are also subject to a 5-year look-back period to audit any assets that were sold or given away during the five years prior to their Medicaid application. If this audit reveals assets that could have otherwise been liquidated to fund senior-care services, Medicaid may impose a penalty in the form of an ineligibility period, which is calculated based on the value of the assets divided by the average cost of private nursing home care.
Seniors aged 65 and older who qualify for Medicaid coverage and require residential care services at a nursing home level, may be eligible for assistance through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care, Long-Term Care Program (SMMC LTC).
The SMMC LTC program helps to delay or prevent nursing home placement of Florida seniors by funding additional care services within an assisted living setting.
In accordance with federal law, all potential program participants must complete a Comprehensive Assessment and Review for Long-Term Care Services (CARES), which will be reviewed by a designated registered nurse or physician.
Seniors who are approved for the SMMC LTC program will be provided with long-term services based on their needs. These services can include:
Optional State Supplementation
Low-income seniors who are 65 and older, qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and are unable to live independently due to mental and/or physical deterioration may qualify for an SSI increase for use towards the room-and-board portion of assisted living costs through the Optional State Supplementation (OSS) program.
OSS provides up to $78.40 for an individual and up to $156.80 per couple. Note that applicants may not combine OSS payments with Medicaid benefits, and seniors must be assessed as needing residential care by a Florida Department of Children and Families Adult Services case manager.
For more information on the Florida OSS program, call ACCESS Florida at (866) 762-2237.
VA Aid and Attendance Benefits
Recipients of a regular (nondisability) VA pension who meet one or more of the following criteria may be eligible for additional benefits:
