Is Hidden Lakes Senior Living Community a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 3 out of 5 stars overall, about the same as the Florida average of 3.3. Inspectors issued 25 citations in the last three years. CMS reports no fines or payment denials in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 3 out of 5; for long-term residents, 5 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Paying for care at Hidden Lakes Senior Living Community: Medicare and Medicaid

Hidden Lakes Senior Living Community is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Florida's income and asset rules.
