Frequently Asked Questions
We know how difficult it can be to determine the best option for senior rehabilitation. So, we’ve put together a list of answers to some of the most common questions people have about choosing a senior rehab center. We hope you find these answers helpful as you make choices for you or your loved ones.
-
What is a skilled nursing facility (SNF)?
An SNF is a place where people receive short- or long-term care to help them recover from illnesses or injuries. This care can come from a wide variety of licensed medical professionals, such as registered nurses (RNs), nurse practitioners (NPs), certified nurses’ aides (CNAs), and more. SNFs offer 24/7 medical support for the ongoing health and rehabilitation of their residents.
-
Is a skilled nursing facility the same as a nursing home?
No. While skilled nursing facilities and nursing homes provide similar services, they differ from one another in how long residents typically stay there. People usually stay at SNFs for a limited time to recover from illnesses or injuries and then return home once they recover. Conversely, a nursing home is a long-term assisted living facility where residents stay permanently when they need ongoing help with everyday activities. Wesley Willows provides both types of care on its campus.
-
Are people who do not already live at Wesley Willows able to utilize the Medicare rehab services?
Yes! Please work with your discharge planner or social worker to send a rehab referral to the team at Wesley Willows.
-
Why choose Wesley Willows for short-term rehab for elderly people?
Wesley Willows is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) in Rockford, IL. As such, we are unique in offering a full continuum of senior care on our campus, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, outpatient rehab, and memory care services. Our residents and their loved ones enjoy peace of mind, knowing all these services are available nearby if they need them.
Furthermore, Wesley Willows is one of the top Continuing Care Retirement Communities in the United States. Newsweek ranked us the fourth best CCRC in Illinois and the 60th best in the entire country. This is because our team strives to provide the highest quality care that our residents could possibly receive.
-
Should my loved one receive inpatient or outpatient senior rehab services?
At Wesley Willows, our mission is to enable seniors to live as independently as possible. Therefore, we encourage residents to use outpatient services when they can. The question to ask to determine if outpatient rehab is a viable option is how much care does your loved one need for recovery? If your loved one can function independently with only minimal support needed, then outpatient rehab should suffice. However, we recommend inpatient rehab for seniors who need constant supervision, which is typically more than their family members can provide.
-
How long will Medicare cover my stay at Willows Health and Rehab Center?
Medicare Part A limits coverage for a stay at a SNF like Willows Health and Rehab Center to 100 days. However, you must meet certain conditions to qualify for Medicare coverage, including a qualifying inpatient hospital stay and a doctor’s referral.
