Paying for care at The Grove of Elmhurst: Medicare and Medicaid

The Grove of Elmhurst 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.
