Selecting the right facility for your family When you or your loved one is in need of services provided by a nursing and rehabilitation center, some important factors should be considered in the decision making process. The following can serve as a guide to help you navigate through this task. Location. The type of care that you or your loved one requires may not make it practical to choose a skilled nursing facility in or close to your community. However, if circumstances permit, consider choosing a skilled nursing facility that will allow family and friends to visit often and is convenient for them. In addition, choosing facilities that are within a healthcare system allow patient access to a wide array of services that may become necessary. Level of care. Each facility defines its own level of care; not all facilities accept residents with complex medical problems. To select a facility that is best for your needs, it s important to know and accurately describe the services you or your family member will require. You should ensure that medical and dietary needs can be met by the facility. Payment sources. Investigate the facility s accepted forms of payment including private pay, health insurance including Medicare and Medicaid, commercial insurance, and long-term care insurance. It will be important to find out if the facility has both Medicare and Medicaid beds so you can switch from one to the other if needed instead of moving to another facility. Unscheduled visits. Visit the facilities that you are interested in or have your friend or family member do it for you. Make unscheduled visits at different times to observe as many interactions as possible. Pay attention to the interior and exterior of the facility. Notice if the center is clean and odor-free and whether the residents are clean, dressed and active. Examine the expressions of the residents and take notice if they seem happy and enjoy engaging with the staff. Physician affiliation. State and federal guidelines require all skilled nursing facility residents to be under the care of a physician. This is so that their care plan and medications can be evaluated every 30 days. Find out if your physician is affiliated with the facility so that he or she can continue to follow your care after you move there. Availability. You will need to find out if there is a bed available and if not, find out when one will become available. Be sure to discuss the procedures regarding the facility s waiting list. Activities. Ask about what kind of activities are provided. The types of services you may want to inquire about are religious services and social activities. Communication. Discuss the methods and frequency of communication that the facility will have with family members, if that is requested. Contract and fee schedule. You may want to ask for a copy of the nursing facility s admission or contract agreement and fee schedule to compare charges at different nursing facilities. The fee schedule does not include the cost of a required physician s visit at least every 30 days or expenses incurred for treating other illnesses. These costs represent additional expenses you are responsible for any that are not covered by your insurance.
