Rehab Frequently Asked Questions
How do I qualify for a stay at Extendicare Rehabilitation Center?
Beneficiaries who need short term skilled care (nursing or rehabilitation services) on an inpatient basis following a hospital stay of at least three days are eligible to receive covered services in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). SNFs are the most commonly used post-acute care settings.
How are my services paid for during my stay?
The Medicare SNF benefit covers skilled nursing care, rehabilitation services and other goods and services and pays facilities a per-determined daily rate for each day of care, up to 100 days per spell of illness. The first 20 days are covered by Medicare at 100% and days 21-100 are paid by Medicare at 80%. Many Medicare co insurance plans cover the additional 20% for days 21-100. Additionally, many other insurance plans and HMOs cover services at Extendicare Rehabilitation Center. We are available to answer any questions specific to your situation.
What medical services will I receive during my stay?
Depending on your physician’s directions and your diagnosis, you may receive physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and skilled nursing care. Our medical services are designed strictly for the senior adult.
How is Extendicare notified of my admission?
Many of our patients call before a planned procedure to handle their admissions themselves. If you are already hospitalized, you may tell your hospital Case Manager or your physician of where you wish to have your rehabilitation.
Besides medical care, what other services or amenities are offered?
Our services include many amenities to make your stay pleasurable. All of our patient rooms are private, equipped with telephone, cable and wireless internet services. We offer complimentary beauty/barber services and an afternoon tea cart for refreshments. We have unlimited visiting hours, convenient parking for your family and friends and a therapy schedule that suits your needs.
What should I bring for my stay?
Since you will be in most cases receiving therapy, you will need a few changes of comfortable nonrestrictive clothing and your personal toiletry items. Please bring your Medicare, Medicaid and Private Insurance cards with you.
