SkilledNursingthat Honors theWhole Person

When illness, injury or surgery interrupts daily life, recovery requires more than treatment. It requires experience, compassion and a team that understands the person behind the need for care.

Recognition through Joint Commission Accreditation reflects a sustained commitment to quality, safety and ongoing improvement in skilled nursing and post-acute care.

At Addolorata Villa in Wheeling, IL, skilled nursing services are guided by the Franciscan mission to Celebrate Life and Serve with Joy. Support here is personal, thoughtful and grounded in respect for the whole person.

Understanding Medicare, Medicaid and Insurance Coverage

Our range of care allows individuals to remain in one setting while receiving the level of support their condition requires. However, questions about coverage are often part of the transition into skilled nursing care. 

Our team is here to help families better understand Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance options related to rehabilitation and skilled nursing services.

Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for adults age 65 and older, as well as certain younger individuals with disabilities. Depending on eligibility and medical needs, Medicare may help cover short-term skilled nursing care, rehabilitation services, hospital stays, and therapy following a qualifying hospital admission.

Medicaid is a state- and federally funded program that assists individuals with limited income and resources. Coverage can vary by state, but Medicaid may help cover longer-term skilled nursing care and related healthcare services for those who qualify.

In addition, Addolorata Villa accepts the following in-network insurance plans:

  • Aetna
  • Humana
  • Molina Healthcare
