Medicare covers Days 1-20 at 100% while Days 21-100 require you to co-pay $157.50 in 2015. While a Medicare benefit pays up to 100 days, a skilled need must be present. For example, if your skilled need is rehabilitation, improvement towards your goals must be evident. Once your goals have been met, the Medicare benefit period ends even if the full 100 days has not been used.

Subacute care, or skilled rehabilitation provides up to three hours a day, 5-6 days per week of therapy services, depending on your tolerance.

We do not have set visiting hours, however we do ask that visitors be mindful of our residents and their need for privacy during treatment times, as well as their need for rest on their road to recovery.   In addition, participation in rehab should not be interrupted. After 8pm, we ask that you use the intercom system for the safety of staff and residents.

Skilled nursing provides a higher level of nursing care than assisted living. In addition, skilled nursing facilities provide rehabilitation in-house and nursing care is provided on a 24 hour basis by staff trained to assist in rehabilitation efforts as well as recognize and treat medical conditions. Assisted Living Facilities are for individuals who can complete most of their activities of daily living, but who ,may require supervision with tasks such as cooking or medication administration.

Your stay will depend on your skilled needs and your progress toward your goals to be discharged home safely. Our typical rehab patient spends 2-3 weeks attaining their goals, while stays for patients with medical skilled needs varies, depending on the treatment ordered by the doctor.
