Here are some of the most commonly asked questions regarding the admission and stay of your loved one at Regency Nursing and Postacute Rehabilitation Centers in New Jersey. We spare no effort in tackling every possible question and concern which may arise. Indeed, we take our commitment to your total satisfaction very seriously.
- Q. What is Postacute Care and Rehabilitation?
A. Postacute care and Rehabilitation refers to a complete and comprehensive approach to caring for our short term rehabilitation patients who require robust therapy before returning home after an acute hospitalization. Our holistic approach and our ability to provide all 3 disciplines of therapy (Speech, Occupational and Physical) is typically covered by Medicare and supplemental/secondary insurance and provides for a cost effective and less invasive alternative to a prolonged acute hospitalization. - Q. Does the patient need to be admitted to the hospital for 3 consecutive nights in order to qualify under Medicare for Postacute rehab?
A. Yes. Currently, Medicare makes the ‘3 night stay’ a pre-requisite before covering in-patient therapy at a Postacute rehab facility. However, other HMO’s and insurances do not make a similar requirement. Please contact any Regency Admissions office for further details. - Q. Are the rehabilitation services offered at Regency facilities the same for every patient?
A. No. Regency offers a fluid, dynamic and tailor made therapy program to suit the specific needs of every patient. We seek to maximize the ability for your loved one to recuperate quickly.
