FAQ
What is skilled nursing care?
Skilled nursing care is for seniors who need short-term support while recovering from illness, injury or a hospital stay, or long-term care for chronic health conditions. Care is provided around the clock by licensed professionals, including RNs, LVNs and CNAs.
Skilled nursing requires daily involvement from licensed nursing or rehabilitation team members. It is a higher level of care than assisted living.
Skilled nursing requires daily involvement from licensed nursing and/or rehabilitation team members. Medicare will cover a portion of the cost of care. By contrast, assistance with basic activities of daily living (dressing, bathing, walking, etc.), is deemed custodial care and isn’t covered under Medicare.
When is skilled nursing necessary?
killed nursing may be necessary when someone needs 24-hour medical attention but does not require hospitalization. It may also be appropriate for individuals who need rehabilitation services, more attentive assistance with routine activities or long-term care for chronic conditions.
Examples may include recovery after surgery, cardiac conditions, stroke recovery, hip or bone fracture, late-stage Parkinson’s disease or other complex health needs.
Some conditions that require skilled nursing care include (but aren’t limited to) cardiac failure, late-stage Parkinson’s disease, stroke, hip or bone fracture, surgery recovery, etc.
Will Medicare pay for skilled nursing?
Casa de las Campanas is Medicare-certified. After a qualifying hospital stay, Medicare typically covers days 1 through 20 of skilled nursing care. A daily coinsurance rate set by Medicare may apply for days 21 through 100.
Medicare payment rules are strict and vary based on many factors. Out-of-pocket costs may also depend on additional insurance coverage. Families should review current Medicare rules and speak with the Casa team for guidance.
How is skilled nursing different from custodial care?
Skilled nursing involves licensed clinical care or rehabilitation services. Custodial care refers to help with basic daily activities such as dressing, bathing, walking or eating. Medicare coverage rules often treat these types of support differently, which is why it is important to understand what type of care is needed.
