Hi BarbieG,
Although I cannot assist in answering your question, I am nevertheless interested in the response, for the reason that my parents just relocated to an assisted living facility in Bradenton, Florida, just north of Sarasota. I am basically all they have as far as immediate family and my own relocation to this area, in the future, is a possibility. I am very familiar with the area as my family has owned property in both Sarasota and Bradenton since the early 1970s. I have been traveling there a couple times a year for very many years.
There are some logistical issues to me moving from CT to FL, and one of them happens to be that I am now in a situation where I have a great medical support apparatus locally and I don’t know what is available down there, as far as the type of unusual and sophisticated care that we J Pouchers need.
Keep us posted on your doings and good luck with your inquiry.
