Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between skilled nursing and nursing home care?
Skilled nursing involves complex medical procedures performed by licensed nurses, such as IV therapy, wound care, and post-surgical care. Nursing home care typically refers to long-term residential care with assistance for daily living activities. Many facilities, including Cadia Healthcare, offer both levels of care.
How long do people stay in skilled nursing facilities?
Length of stay varies based on individual medical needs. Post-acute rehabilitation stays typically range from 2–4 weeks. Complex medical care may require several weeks to months. Some residents transition to long-term care if ongoing medical supervision is needed.
Does Medicare cover skilled nursing care in Delaware?
Medicare Part A covers skilled nursing facility care for up to 100 days per benefit period when medically necessary following a qualifying 3-day hospital stay. Days 1–20 are fully covered; days 21–100 require a co-payment. Our admissions team helps verify your coverage.
Can family members visit anytime?
Yes, we encourage family involvement and offer flexible visiting hours. We recommend coordinating with our nursing staff for the best times that don't interfere with treatments, therapy, or rest periods.
How quickly can someone be admitted?
We can often arrange placement within 24 hours. Our admissions team coordinates with hospital discharge planners and assists with insurance verification, Medicaid applications, and care planning.
What should I bring to a skilled nursing facility?
Bring comfortable clothing, toiletries, glasses, hearing aids, and personal items. We recommend labeling belongings. Medical equipment and medications are provided by the facility.
