There is always a physician or nurse practitioner on-call. In addition, residents have access to in-house specialists including an ophthalmologist, podiatrist, urologist, dermatologist, dentist, dietitian, and audiologist, so many medical needs can be addressed without leaving the facility.

All residents live in private suites with private bathrooms. Long-term care at The Maplewood also includes restaurant-style dining, recreational activities, exercise classes, housekeeping and laundry services, maintenance services, and many additional amenities designed to promote comfort and quality of life.

The Maplewood combines 24-hour skilled nursing with a personalized care plan developed using input from the resident, their family, our medical care team, therapy, dining services, social services and recreation. This collaborative approach allows us to develop a care plan that addresses each resident's individual needs and personal interests, rather than applying one standard program to everyone.

Many people are under the impression that a person's traditional health insurance plan will cover admission and care in a skilled nursing facility. Additionally, many people who are eligible for Medicare believe that Medicare will cover all nursing home care. When it comes to traditional health insurance and Medicare coverage, the payment for nursing home services is generally limited and may only be available under certain circumstances.

For traditional health insurance through an employer-sponsored plan, we suggest checking with the HR department about the specific plan. For Medicare coverage, it depends on whether a person has traditional Medicare or one of the Advantage Plans. Under traditional Medicare, there must be at least a three-day documented hospital stay prior to admission to the nursing facility as well as a path forward that would indicate a potential for improvement that relates to the reason why the hospital admission occurred in the first place. Once the admission to the facility takes place, improvement to the patient's condition must continually be documented and evidence of such must continue to happen for Medicare to continue to cover. It is the decision of the nursing staff, therapy team and attending physician working with the patient as whether progress is happening and thereby whether coverage will continue. Under a Medicare Advantage plan, the admission criteria is the same as traditional Medicare with one important difference regarding continued coverage. The advantage plan (based on documentation in the medical record) makes the decision as to whether they will continue to cover the patients stay, not the members of the therapy team and the physician.

Generally speaking, long term care insurance is accepted at Maplewood. In the case of LTC Insurance coverage, Maplewood submits documentation to the insurance company and the patient or responsible party is reimbursed for payments made to the facility. Again, it is important to review the long term care insurance policy to understand the criteria that the insurance company uses to determine whether the stay, from a clinical perspective, is eligible to access insurance coverage.

Medicaid is a safety net program that covers residents of a nursing home that have no other means of paying for their stay. There is an eligibility process that a person is required to pass with the Department of Social Services before accessing the Medicaid system. There are many rules and details involved in qualifying for Medicaid. Our best advice is to check with a Medicaid attorney or other professional who is very familiar with the program. Maplewood residents who exhaust their private funds and become eligible for Medicaid receive the same services they are accustomed to, and the only change is that they may be transferred to another room. Medicaid will only pay for a semi-private room at any skilled nursing facility.
