Three things worth knowing first

  • Medicare may cover a short rehab stay after a qualifying inpatient hospital admission, but it does not pay for long-term custodial nursing care.
  • Nursing facilities are the one senior care category with federal CMS star ratings.
  • Get New York's semi-private and private-room medians from CareScout, and note that semi-private is often Medicaid-weighted and lower than a private-pay quote.
How New York licenses assisted living. New York licenses assisted living as an Adult Care Facility, with optional additional ALR/EALR/SNALR licensure layered on top -- not a single license type. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

SIUH or Richmond University Medical Center gave us a discharge date in 3 days. What do we do first?

Ask the case manager or social worker for the discharge plan in writing, and confirm in writing whether your parent was admitted as an inpatient or held under observation status -- that single fact determines whether Medicare's skilled nursing benefit is even available for a rehab stay afterward.

What's the actual difference between "inpatient" and "observation status" after a hospital stay?

Medicare's skilled nursing facility benefit requires a qualifying inpatient hospital admission. Time spent under "observation status" does not count toward that requirement, even if your parent physically slept in a hospital bed for multiple nights -- ask the hospital directly, and in writing, which status applied.

Can I push back on a hospital discharge date if we're not ready?

Generally, yes -- discharge dates are often less fixed than they initially sound, particularly when no safe discharge plan has actually been arranged yet. Hospitals are required to discharge to a genuinely safe setting; raise specific, concrete concerns with the case management or social work team rather than a general request for more time.

Which Staten Island hospitals do most families deal with during a discharge?

The two acute-care hospitals physically on Staten Island are Staten Island University Hospital (Northwell Health, North campus at 475 Seaview Avenue and South campus commonly cited at 375 Seguine Avenue) and Richmond University Medical Center (355 Bard Avenue), which has a clinical affiliation with Mount Sinai Health System for emergency care.
