Paying for care at Life Care Center of Centerville: Medicare and Medicaid
Life Care Center of Centerville is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid.

Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Tennessee's income and asset rules. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.
