Questions families ask

What does Medicare's skilled nursing facility benefit actually require in terms of a prior hospital stay?

Medicare's skilled nursing facility benefit generally requires that the patient first have a qualifying inpatient hospital stay of at least 3 days before Medicare will cover a subsequent skilled nursing facility stay, and only time spent formally admitted as an inpatient counts toward that requirement, not time spent under observation status. This is a critical distinction for Long Island families navigating a hospital discharge, since a stay that looks identical from the patient's bed can be billed either way.

Does NYU Langone have Long Island hospital locations, and what should I know about discharge planning there?

Yes. NYU Langone operates two Long Island hospital campuses: NYU Langone Hospital-Long Island, a 591-bed medical center at 259 First Street in Mineola, formerly Winthrop-University Hospital, renamed in November 2020, home to Nassau County's only adult Level 1 Trauma Center and the NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine; and NYU Langone Hospital-Suffolk. As with any hospital system, discharge planning is coordinated by staff at the specific campus where a patient is admitted.

My parent just fell and is in the hospital - what's the first call I should make?

For families in Nassau or Suffolk County, the Office for the Aging in your parent's home county is a good first call - Nassau County Office for the Aging at 516-227-8900, or Suffolk County Office for the Aging at 631-853-8200. Both function as the local NY Connects access point, a free service that helps families understand care options, eligibility, and next steps after a hospital event, without any cost or obligation.
