Frequently Asked Questions
STONEHENGE - A PLACE OF HEALING
-
What is Medicare?Medicare is a health insurance program for people 65 or older or those under 65 with certain disabilities or end stage renal disease. Medicare helps cover the costs for hospital admissions, skilled nursing facilities, home health care and hospice care.
-
How is my stay paid for?Each Stonehenge location is a skilled nursing facility and all patients who come are able to use their Medicare benefit. Medicare can pay up to 100 days in the skilled nursing facility. Not all patients can use their 100 days as Medicare only pays for daily skilled nursing or daily rehabilitation. Our Social Worker or Director of Nursing will keep you informed on how long the patient will be permitted to stay. Please review the following chart for Medicare deductible and co-insurance information: Days 1-20 Medicare pays 100% - no deductible or co-insurance Days 21-100 Co-payment required of $170.50 per day (2019 rate). Many times the patient will have a secondary insurance and they will often pay the co-insurance amount. We can assist you in this process at time of admission. Each Stonehenge facility has contracts with most of the major health care plans. Ask us and we will be able to tell you what your plan covers and if there will be any deductible or co-insurance that you may have to pay.
-
When are visiting hours?Because most rooms are private, Stonehenge does not have any mandated visiting hours. We encourage visitors to stay and visit as frequently as they would like. We do lock the exterior doors later in the evening for security reasons, but you can still exit the facility at the conclusion of your visit.
-
Do you have telephone and cable TV?Each room is equipped with a private telephone line with its own phone number for incoming and outgoing phone calls. We encourage you to share your phone number with family and friends or whomever you like. We also offer 30 cable TV channels for your enjoyment.
