Does Medicare pay for care?
|
|
Medicare is a complicated insurance program which pays for some care
under the guidelines the government has established. If a resident
has been in the hospital for three days and the physician orders
therapy we will assess the resident and determine if they qualify for
Medicare. If they do then Medicare will pay for a certain number of
days. It is up to Medicare to decide when they will no longer pay.
We are happy to visit with you about Medicare and help you find the
answers to your questions.

|
What is Medicaid and how can we apply?
|
|
Medicaid is a state program which helps pay the expense of nursing
home care. To receive this benefit an individual applies at the SRS
office which will determine if the resident is eligible.
|
|
If a resident moves into the nursing home may we visit?
|
|
We encourage family and friends to participate in the lives of our
residents as much as possible. In some instances there will be an
adjustment period where the resident may resent the caregiver and
during that time the caregiver may want to limit visits.
|
|
May we take our loved one out for outings?
|
|
Yes. In fact we encourage outings.
|
|
My mother is diabetic - how is that handled?
|
|
If a resident has a physician's order for a special diet we follow
that order.
|
|
Do you have transportation?
|
|
Yes, we have a van with wheelchair accommodations. We encourage
families to take their loved one to appointments, however, we can
transport in our van.
|
|
What clothing and personal items should we bring?
|
|
Bring all personal items that are needed for daily activities.
Comfortable clothing, keeping in mind the residents condition and
comfort. Whatever furniture you may put in the room and maintain
sufficient space for caregivers to provide care.
|
|
Do you have a physician who comes to the facility?
|
|
Yes. We have two. Dr. Wolf is our medical director and comes to the
facility once a month to see his patients. Dr. Papish lives in
Clearwater and alternates visits with his PA.
|
|
May we have a phone in the room and if so how is it paid for?
|
|
We have provided phone jacks and cable outlet in all the rooms. You
are responsible for phone and cable TV.
|
|
What does it cost to live here?
|
|
The cost is determined by the condition and room. Our prices range
from 1,750.00 for a studio apartment in the assisted living to
4,050.00 for the highest level private room.
|
|
If my loved one comes to CRC as private pay and runs out of money
what happens?
|
|
The assisted living and the home plus are private pay. If someone
runs out of money they would then move to the nursing home where they
could apply for Medicaid.
|
|
What is a DNR and do we need that?
|
|
A DNR means Do Not Resuscitate. That means if the resident's heart
stops beating and we have a DNR we will not restart the heart,
however, if we do not have a DNR we are obligated by law to make
every attempt to restart the heart.
|
|
What is a Power of Attorney?
|
|
A Power of Attorney is someone either the resident designated to
handle their affairs if they were no longer capable or the courts
have declared some to be incompetent and has named a POA. There are
two kinds of POA. One is for financial decisions only the other can
be for health decisions only. A Durable Power of Attorney can make
decisions about finances and health for the resident.
