Crescent Manor is a Medicare-accredited facility.

To meet Medicare coverage requirements for care in a skilled nursing facility, a resident must:

• have been hospitalized for three or more days
• have entered a Medicare facility within 30 days of discharge from the hospital
• require skilled services, as determined by Medicare guidelines.

Medicare coverage is contingent upon the resident's need for skilled care as determined by Crescent Manor's utilization review team.

If a patient meets eligibility requirements, Medicare will provide benefits for a maximum of 100 days of skilled care in a nursing facility. During that time, Medicare may pay 100% of the approved amount for up to 20 of those days. Medicare will pay all but a daily co-payment for the remaining 80 days of coverage.

Please note that a resident is not guaranteed all 100 days of possible coverage and will only receive benefit days as long as he or she continues to meet the established criteria for skilled care.

Any person who is not found eligible to receive skilled care or whose length of stay exceeds Medicare coverage must secure a different source of funding.
