Homestead Village Health Care - What You Need When You Need It

Whether it is called a Continuing Care Retirement Community or a Life Plan Community, one of the main reasons individuals choose communities like Homestead Village is the availability of health care when it is needed.  The vast majority of Homestead Village residents move to Homestead Village residential living neighborhoods - the
Apartments, Cottages, Villa Court Villas, The Mews or The Farmstead.  When more services are needed, Homestead Village is ready to assist.  Our best means of helping residents stay independent is our home care service, Homestead Village Home Care.  With it we can provide as little as one hour of service or as much as needed.

At some point in their stay most residents see the benefits of a move to our apartments as we can provide round the clock services through our personal care program in a setting that also offers easy access to all of our other services under one roof.  Life in the apartments is very convenient and truly enhances independence with the new European bathrooms and updated kitchens.
 
If memory support services are needed, they are available in both Gelhard House (personal care) and Young House (nursing care).  Gelhard House features 13 private rooms and Young House offers nine rooms and accommodations for fifteen residents.

If short-term rehabilitation is required before a return to home, it is available in Radcliffe House and Fickes House with our therapy partner, Genesis Rehabilitation.  Radcliffe House serves 21 residents in 7 private and 7 semi-private rooms.  Fickes House servers 22 residents. Historically, Medicare and Medicaid services can only be accessed in a nursing home such as the Apostles Center for Care.  Medicare is health care insurance that pays for skilled nursing or therapy services for a short time - usually about three or four weeks up to a maximum of 100 days.  Medicaid pays for services in a nursing home when a resident has exhausted their financial resources.  Medicaid does not pay enough to cover the cost of health services provided at Homestead Village and thus every resident on Medicaid is subsidized through our endowment and the fact that Homestead Village is a charitable, non-profit organization.

With our many health care services, Homestead Village can meet your need wherever you are while at the same time providing a high quality of life with enriching activities, caring neighbors and dedicated staff members creating a compassionate community.
