8. Alzheimer’s Disease Initiative
Or ADDI, is a program for seniors who are suffering from Alzheimer’s. This program assists caregivers in times of need and will provide medical training on the subject to those who care for the elderly. I think this is a great benefit, and there is no shame in admitting to having a disease.
It’s not pleasant, but the government gives you their support on this matter.
I’m 79 and could move in 4D months but wife doesn’t want to leave Central Illinois. Have quite a few HS classmates in Sarasota, Tampa, The Villages & Dundee. Wife is afraid to leave cousins behind and she wouldn’t know anybody except my friends. I’m from Michigan and have had enough snow & cold to last into my next lifetime. On Oxygen 24/7 so I can’t do much in the Winter anyhow.
Just, like Mr. Taylor mention above, the healthcare in Florida concerns me too. I have a lot of family living in Florida, around Tampa, Lakeland, Jacksonville and Miami. I have health issues which i have to see doctors on a continuity basis, currently I live in the DMV area and the healthcare is excellent, but i have to deal with the winters, which I’m tired of even though I’m originally from Massachusetts. As I age the cold is getting on my nerves and i also have seasonal depression which Florida would make it better to deal with but their healthcare if horrible.
I’ve lived in Florida my entire life, and wouldn’t even consider moving out of state. We have good healthcare, beautiful weather, and no state taxes. I’m just moving to a smaller town, because of the Tampa congestion.
I would love to move to Florida. I live in New York Long Island, this area absolutely does not care about it’s seniors nor anyone else for that matter. It is the home of the most corrupt politicians in this country, home for high prices, high taxes, home of the criminal where they are more protected than the citizens and the Police are hung out to dry. New York is the worst only second to California. To move to Florida would be a dream come true. I am a retired P.O. from NYPD and grew up in Long Island and I am saying this with all sincerity Florida is a state that respects it’s people and it’s seniors with so many benefits is it any wounder why I would want to move from New York to a great state like Florida.
Why would anyone want to move to DeSantistan. A place that believes history ended in 1861. A place where those living the western shore of the Inland Waterway will have ocean front property. A place where the taxes may not go up out insurance rates make owning a home prohibitive. A place that has numerous systems for collecting tolls on the highways. A place where the building inspectors are so corrupt that building collapse after being up for only 30 years. Or do they collapse because of the invading ocean waters?
Remember, Florida is a state that elected a man governor who headed a company that blicked Medicare of billions. Then the state rewarded him by making him a Senator. Obvious seniors in Florida don’t read or care for honest leaders.
Now how much will insurance go up next year when the next storm of the century hits. Global warming deniers and election deniers seem to be at home in Florida.
