What happens at discharge

  • A discharge planner or case manager at the hospital works out where your parent goes next: home, home with help, short-term rehab, or a community.
  • For Medicare to cover rehab in a nursing home, your parent generally needs a stay of at least 3 days admitted as an inpatient. Time "under observation" does not count, so ask which one applies.
  • Medicare does not pay for assisted living or long-term custodial care.
  • You can choose the facility. Ask for a list, and ask which ones have a bed now.

Questions to ask before discharge

  • Is she admitted as an inpatient, or under observation?
  • What level of care does the team recommend, and why?
  • What date are you planning for discharge?
  • Which medicines and equipment will she need?

Common questions

Does Medicare pay for a nursing home stay after the hospital?

Medicare Part A can cover short-term skilled nursing or rehab after a qualifying hospital stay, which generally means at least 3 days admitted as an inpatient (the day of discharge does not count). Time spent under observation does not count toward those 3 days, so ask the team at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center whether your parent is admitted or under observation. Source: Medicare.gov.

Does Medicare pay for assisted living?

No. Medicare does not pay for long-term custodial care, which includes help with bathing, dressing and daily living in an assisted living community. Families usually pay privately, with long-term care insurance, or in some cases through NJ Medicaid programs. Source: Medicare.gov.

Can we choose the rehab or nursing home, or does the hospital decide?

You choose. The hospital's discharge planner may suggest places, but you can ask for the facilities you prefer and compare them first. We can help you check availability quickly.

What does your help cost?

Nothing for families. Communities we work with pay us when someone moves in.
