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.

Franciscan Village accepts the following in-network insurance plans:

  • Aetna
  • Humana
  • Molina Healthcare
