Paying for care at Jewish Home and Care Center: Medicare and Medicaid

Jewish Home and Care Center 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 Wisconsin'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.

In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.

Questions to ask on a tour of Jewish Home and Care Center

  1. Inspectors cited the home at the immediate-jeopardy level on April 6, 2026 under the rule on resident rights. What changed afterwards, and can I see the plan of correction?
  2. CMS cited the home under its abuse and neglect rules on July 24, 2026. How are staff trained, and how are concerns reported?
  3. Several administrators left in the past year. What has changed for residents since then?
  4. CMS rates short-stay quality 2 out of 5. How often do rehab patients go back to the hospital, and how many therapy sessions a week are typical?
  5. Do you have a Medicaid bed open now, and will you admit someone whose Medicaid application is still pending?
  6. When is the first care-plan meeting, and can family attend?

Questions come from this home's CMS data: its inspections, staffing and ownership record.
