Frequently Asked Questions
What does skilled nursing care include?
Skilled nursing at Benedictine Mother of Mercy provides 24-hour medical supervision and personalized support delivered by licensed nurses and trained caregivers. This level of care is appropriate for people recovering from surgery, illness, injury or stroke, as well as for those living with chronic conditions or complex health needs that require ongoing clinical oversight.

Is skilled nursing the same as a nursing home?
Skilled nursing is the modern term used to describe what was once commonly called a nursing home. Today’s skilled nursing communities — including Benedictine Care Community — emphasize person-centered care, comfortable living spaces and meaningful engagement alongside clinical excellence. Our environment is designed to feel welcoming and supportive, while still providing the advanced care residents need.
How do I know if skilled nursing is the right choice?
Skilled nursing may be appropriate when an individual requires daily medical monitoring, rehabilitation services or assistance that goes beyond what can be safely provided at home or in assisted living. Our team can meet with families, review medical needs and help determine whether short-term rehabilitation or long-term skilled care would be most beneficial.
Are family and friends able to visit?
Yes. We believe connection is essential to well-being, and loved ones are encouraged to visit. Families are welcome to spend time in resident rooms and shared gathering spaces. Our team can provide current visiting guidelines and help coordinate meaningful visits.
Can long-term care insurance be used for skilled nursing?
Many long-term care insurance policies provide benefits for skilled nursing services. Because coverage varies by policy, we recommend reviewing your individual plan or speaking directly with your insurance provider. Our team is also available to help guide you through the process.
Does Medicare cover skilled nursing services?
Benedictine Mother of Mercy is a Medicare-certified provider. For those who meet Medicare’s eligibility requirements — typically following a qualifying hospital stay — Medicare may cover a portion of short-term skilled nursing and rehabilitation services for a limited time. Coverage details and out-of-pocket costs vary based on individual circumstances and supplemental insurance. Our admissions team can help you better understand your specific benefits.
