Within our center, our employees are referred to as partners, where responsibility is placed on each partner to build relationships with each individual and their family as well as respective team members.

Anyone who requires more assistance than they are receiving at the present time qualifies for nursing home care. A physician who recommends “around the clock care” is another indicator.

Nursing home admissions do not always require a physician’s order, however, the order is a requirement of payment for Medicare or Medicaid.

Families usually work with their doctor to decide the right time to admit a loved one to a nursing home. Several factors including age, diagnosis, medical history and abilities of the primary caregiver, play a part in that decision.

Other times, the patient is admitted to a nursing home following a hospital stay whether for short-term or long-term care. Ultimately, the decision to enter a nursing home lies with that individual and their family.

Schedule an appointment with our business office team (352) 463-7101 and we can assist in filling out and filing Medicaid applications.

You can also apply at your local DCF (Department of Children and Families) office or online at www.dcf.state.fl.us/ess/

Our Medical Director and their team work closely with the interdisciplinary team and your loved one to meet their medical needs.

Family council meetings (or care plan meetings) are also held to determine their needs. Your loved one and family members are encouraged to attend and participate.

We have a full-time Business and Admissions Office for all concerns. If any questions arise regarding these matters, call our Business Office at (352) 463-7101 or stop by and make an appointment.

We have an open door policy. You may visit your loved one at any time as long as you are considerate of all of our residents. We encourage all families to visit and take residents outdoors and on outings – whether just for a meal at their favorite restaurant or overnight, it is always special to them.

At this time, we do not have a formal policy regarding the number of visitors. We highly encourage using one of our common areas or beautifully landscaped and decorated outdoor patios to meet with your loved one.

We do allow children to visit. We ask that you always pay special attention to young children especially under the age of 12. Running or wandering hallways or in other resident’s rooms is not allowed.

Our visiting hours are everyday from 8:00 AM-8:00 PM.  Our business office hours are Monday-Friday from 8:00 AM-5:30 PM.

You can bring a family pet to visit, as we often have pet therapy dogs at our facility as well.

Here are our rules when bringing a pet to Ayers:

• A copy of vaccinations must be kept in our Business Office and they must be up-to-date on all vaccinations during each visit.
• You must clean up after them and take the necessary safety precautions at all times.
• All pets must remain on a leash.

Yes, our residents may take a leave of absence with a doctor’s authorization – that can be arranged through Ayers nursing staff. When departing Ayers, the responsible party must sign the resident out and back in upon arrival, in our main office.

We highly encourage you to send your loved one mail, photos or even an email through our “send your loved one a message” feature.  All mail is delivered to residents on a daily basis.

Try using our “Message A Loved One” feature. It’s really simple, is all you need to do is type your loved one’s name in and your message. You can even attach up to (3) images per email. When we receive your email, we print and hand deliver it to your loved one.
