Paying for care at Hebrew Home of Greater Washington: Medicare and Medicaid

Hebrew Home of Greater Washington 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 Maryland's income and asset rules.
