Financial Information

    Crossroads Care Center and South Shore Care Center are both fully Medicare certified.  Many new residents are admitted directly from the hospital and most qualify for Medicare Part A benefits, providing they meet coverage requirements. 

    Most residents pay for their care through private resources or Medical Assistance (Medicaid).  Medical Assistance is a state-federal program which supplements a resident’s resources and is available to individuals who meet state requirements.  The level of care required by the resident’s medical condition and the resident’s financial need determine eligibility for most funding programs. 

    Private insurance is another method of payment for long term care services.  Crossroads Care Center and South Shore Care Center staff are available to assist our residents in using their insurance benefits and coordinating all sources of payment.

    Crossroads Care Center and South Shore Care Center charge a daily rate for care based on an initial assessment that determines the level of care needed.  Assessments are repeated at periodic intervals, usually every three months, and rates are adjusted when a resident’s level of care changes. Our rates include 24 hour nursing care, meals based on individual dietary requirements, housekeeping, personal laundry and linen, a daily program of activities, social services and administration.  Our daily rates do not include medication, special therapies, physician or other medical services.   

    Both semi-private (double occupancy) and private (single occupancy) rooms are available.  There is an additional charge for a private room.

    Residents have the right to manage their personal finances or may choose someone who will be accountable for financial matters.  A trust fund is available for  residents who chose to have the care center keep track of their personal funds.

    Our Social Services Directors are available to assist residents and their families with any questions regarding financial matters.
