There is one being planned for Lee Hwy, next door to Willow Spring Towing and Recovery. It will be a few years though. Just fyi...

Good luck with that.

A lot of the area nursing homes have Medicare beds but its difficult to get them.

Sleepy Hollow and Iliff have more of these beds than other places around, but best is stretching it.

I was in the industry years ago.

In the Falls Church/Arlington area...

Sleepy Hollow & Powhatan were spotless and, (for lack of a better word) enjoyable.

My Mother was in Sunrise and they took very good care of her. Not sure if they take Medicare.

MedicARE doesn't pay for "nursing homes".
Medicare DOES pay for short-term skilled nursing care under certain conditions.

MedicAID pays for nursing home care after you have spent down a certain portion of savings. Like most of it.

Good luck.

In order to qualify for Medicaid you have to have less than 10K in assets.

There's a facility over on Burke Lake Road which took care of a friend of mine several years ago following a hospital stay. The rehab was successful and he's enjoying his retirement again. Unfortunately, I can't remember the facility's name.

Birmingham Green is a good one, but it is in Manassas.

Now it is very difficult to find a good nurse who takes care of her patient at the level. I know it is a hard job but if you want to be a nurse, you should love to help people and keep calm in a stressful situation. My daughter likes to do this and now she will graduate at hashtagnursing.com one of the best schools. After that, she wants to help the elderly or people with disabilities. I think she will be the best because from childhood she likes to help our oldest neighbor.

With Nursing Homes you get what you pay, or not pay, for. Most facilities do have Medicaid beds, but they are few and far between in the nicer facilities. Private pay is where it is at. If you can afford to put a family member into one of the nicer facilities do it. The level of care and their comfort will be worlds beyond the Medicaid funded facilities. Most of the Medicaid funded places are just warehouses for old people. They spend the majority of the day in their beds, get very little in the way of mental and social stimulation. The staffing numbers are akin to a private school versus a public school. Sharing a room is also almost a given in a Medicaid facility. That means no privacy EVER, for the rest of your days. Fuck that.

Who can blame them. When you figure the cost of the land, the cost of the structures, utilities, labor costs, food costs and taxes, it isn't possible to turn a profit on what Medicaid pays, even at minimum levels of service. The ugly reality is that to provide a standard of existence that middle class individuals would expect, coupled with the need for minimum medical care, assistance and security that elderly individuals need would require rates at least as high what a nicer hotel would charge for room and meals.

In my opinion, there are several such services in the city that take care of elderly people. In my opinion, it is not difficult to find them on the map. Are you looking for such a service for your elderly parents, or are you just interested? My friend's mother had a memory problem and she could not live alone, so my friend found a nursing home for her where she could be looked after. In my opinion, if you want to find a good place for your family, then nursing care Minneapolis can be very suitable. This is a very good and high-quality service that deals with old people and makes sure that everything is fine with them and they have everything they need.

Check with A Place for Mom. They are a free referral source. The public library has a free book called The Source with area places. Then look on Medicare.gov at Nursing Home Compare. Read all the ratings carefully. Then visit, and insist on seeing every floor in the place. They may tell you that they are all the same, but insist on a full tour. Look to see how many call lights are on and if they are being answered. Look to see if people are just parked in the hall. Stay away from Fairfax Nursing Center, from Iliff, and from Dulles Health and Rehab.

For Medicaid, the person has to have very little money. They pay their whole Social Security check to the nursing home, and can only keep forty dollars a month for personal use. Find out if there is a charge for laundry and to get their hair done.

Try to pick a place near to you, so you can pop in add odd times to see what is happening.

I was looking for a good place where my old father can rest. Thank you for providing it.

Leewood Nursing Home has been acquired by August Healthcare. The assistants (CNAs) are mostly foreigners. Some are very hard to understand because of their foreign accent. Quite a few don't seem to care about their job. They don't seem to understand the "team" concept. When they don't have anything to do, when you ask them to assist, some of them will say the resident who needs help is being cared for by someone and would rather sit and use their cell phones instead of helping out their co-workers. We are still optimistic that the new leadership will be able to improve the overall performance of Leewood Nursing Home.

I've heard a lot about Ashby Ponds and they say it's really good. But I still do not understand people who send their loved ones to such institutions. I read a lot about nursing, used https://studymoose.com/free-essays/nursing for this. There were cases of not so great nurses who wanted to spit on the elderly. It's the same if your parents sent you to an orphanage.

Actually, you can't have more than $2,000 in assets while you are on Medicaid.
