Logan County Senior Living is now providing skilled services covered by Medicare!
Logan County Senior Living recently received approval to provide Medicare Part A services to seniors and the opportunity to receive therapy services under what is called Medicare Part B program without leaving the facility. In the past, LCSL provided quality long-term care but was not able to provide the additional skilled services that Medicare would pay for. With this new certification, qualifying seniors will have access to therapies and skilled nursing services with Medicare covering the cost. Shyanne Griggs, Administrator, shared that it will be a great benefit for seniors who have had a recent hospital stay and meet the other qualifications outlined by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). She stated, “Often after a hospitalization, seniors need therapy or additional services to regain their strength or improve skills to perform daily tasks once again. Now, seniors can come to Logan County Senior Living to receive those services without additional out of pocket expenses.” If qualifications are met for Medicare Part A services, room and board plus therapy expenses are covered which is very beneficial for those that have limited funds. With this certification, seniors living at Logan County Senior Living will also have opportunity to receive therapy services under what is called Medicare Part B program. These additional services will be helpful to improve strength and skills when there has been a health decline but not a qualifying hospital stay (or other qualifications not met for various reasons.) “We are very excited to be able to offer these enhanced services to the seniors we serve,” Griggs continued.
