How often will the rehabilitation staff work with my loved one?

When does Medicare Part A cover my stay in a skilled nursing facility?
Residents must have a Medicare card that reads "Hospital Insurance" and must have spent a minimum of three consecutive days in a hospital no more than 30 days before entering a skilled nursing facility. A physician must also certify that the resident needs "skilled" care on a continuing basis. During the first 20 days of care, Medicare will pay 100%. For days 21-100, a daily co-insurance rate will be due as determined by Medicare. For a stay longer than 100 days, Medicare will no longer pay for skilled nursing.

Does each room have a telephone?
Short term resident rooms have telephone service provided. Other rooms have been wired for telephone service.  Simply call the local telephone company and ask for new service to be installed. Local telephone company charges will apply.
