Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any additional questions don't hesitate to reach out to us
Who Pays?
Services are paid in a variety of ways. These typically include:
- Medicare: After a three day qualifying hospital stay, Medicare will pay for 20 days of a skilled nursing care facility at full cost and the difference between a daily co-pay and the actual cost for another 80 days.
- Medicaid: Medicaid is a welfare program jointly funded by the federal government and individual states. It is largely administered by the states. Check with your Medicaid office to determine your eligibility and what will be covered.
- Insurance: There are many commercial insurance carriers that have programs to help cover the cost of a Skilled Nursing Home stay. Please check with various carriers to determine which plan best meets your needs.
- Private: If there are no insurance options available, then paying privately is an option for many residents.
What does Medicare and Medicaid cover?
Medicare has two parts. Part A (Hospital Insurance) pays some of the costs of hospitalization and limited skilled nursing care. Part B (Medical Insurance) primarily covers doctor’s fees, hospital outpatient services, and certain related services. Medicare does not cover long-term nursing facility care.
Medicare will assist eligible persons for the first 100 days of a nursing home stay. Medicare will pay 100% of the cost of services for the first 20 days. For the remaining 80 days of eligibility, the resident will pay a $157.00 daily co-pay and Medicare will pay the remaining balance. Please talk to a facility representative regarding eligible Medicare stays.
Medicaid is a state run program that shares in the cost of care with the resident. Upon determining whether the individual is eligible (done by a state Medicaid eligibility worker), the state will determine how much of the cost will be covered under the program. For further details regarding the Medicare or Medicaid programs, please talk to a facility representative.

Do you have licensed nurses on staff?

Can I leave for activities outside the facility while I am here?
