Results for category "MontVue Nursing Home"Can I take my loved one out to church or lunch periodically
Q: Can I take my loved one out to church or lunch periodically?
A: Yes.
You can take your loved one out under skilled care (when receiving rehab therapy under Medicare Part A) only for the day, but only after completion of any scheduled therapy in order to maximize the efficiency and speed of recovery.
Due to Medicare regulations an overnight leave is not permitted, again in order to maximize the speed of recovery.
If your loved one is currently staying at MontVue under Medicaid, they are allowed to leave as well and may have limited stays overnight (18 nights per year) outside of MontVue without loosing their eligibility.
Does Medicare pay for my stay when I have finished rehab?
Q: Does Medicare pay for my stay when I have finished rehab?
A: No.
If additional stay is necessary you will be responsible for payment of any days not covered under Medicare.
Check to see if you have private insurance coverage for days stayed beyond the Medicare days allowed. If so, this will help alleviate some of the cost to you.
Another possibility for coverage would be Medicaid. Normally when Skilled Care is needed evaluations are completed both by the social workers at the hospital and at MontVue to determine if eilgibility may exist for coverage under Medicaid.

When your mom is ready to go home from rehab, we will make all the arrangements.
Normally, through treatment planning, a 5 day notice is given to the family and staff so that any necessary arrangements can be made for her safe return home.
