We understand that choosing the right senior rehabilitation option can feel overwhelming. To help, we’ve gathered answers to some of the most common questions asked when exploring care.
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.
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.
Yes! Please work with your discharge planner or social worker to send a rehab referral to the team at Willows Health & Rehab Center.
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. It’s our high level of personal care that led “Newsweek” to rank us in the top 10 senior living communities in Illinois.
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 do you or your loved one need for recovery? If you or 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.
Medicare Part A limits coverage for a stay at a SNF like Willows Health and Rehab Center up 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.
