Billing

Billing

The billing office is located on the first floor when entering through the main entrance. The hours of service are 8:00am to 4:00pm, Monday through Friday.  Our billing staff can aid you with billing and insurance questions, receiving payments for care or to the resident trust fund, coordinating beauty shop or satellite television services and guest meal tickets. Billing is completed on a monthly basis. Private Pay residents will be billed for room and board a month in advance; private insurances will be billed after the month is complete. If the resident has Medicaid benefits and has been assigned a Patient Pay, it will be due in the current month by the 15th; this must be paid before we can bill Medicaid for the remainder of the services.

Bevahioral care

Behavioral Care

The Caring Hands Community is our specialized floor that provides individualized care for your loved one.  Its team members are trained to provide residents with the appropriate alternative intervention when residents exhibit behavioral, functional or mental complications. 

 Staff to resident ratio is greater related to the level of care the residents require.  Staff is able to provide more one to one care during times when your loved one may be experiencing behavioral, functional or mental complications day or night.  The care and routines of the day are constructed on an individual basis.  The staff works with the resident, family, nurse and social worker to create a plan of care concentrated on the special needs of the resident.

Staff members who work in the Caring Hands Community specialize with dealing with multiple problems and working together to come up with a plan that best suits the individuals needs.  They work with the residents in a group and individual setting.  If residents do not enjoy coming to group activities, individual activities are planned and held for the resident in his/her room or a place he/she wishes, within the Caring Hands Community.  Or attend large group activities with the rest of the facility residents.

Nursing

Nursing

Our nursing units offer either short or long-term residences for people who need continuous nursing or custodial care services and require 24/7 assistance for health related conditions without being in a hospital. We provide the highest level of supervision and medical services. A plan of care is developed for each individual resident based on his or her needs at the time of admission. Personal nursing and care needs can be temporary in nature, such as recuperation, rehabilitation or therapy after a serious illness, surgery, medical event, accident or just respite care (relief for caregivers). Others may require care for an extended period of time due to the chronic nature of their illness, needs or disabilities.

Pharmacy

Our consulting pharmacist conducts monthly reviews of the resident’s medical charts to ensure appropriate pharmaceutical levels. In addition to these regularly scheduled visits, quality assurance reports are prepared and discussed with the medical director, physicians, and nursing staff.

Social Services

Social Services

The social workers at HCMCF understand that the transition from home to a long term care facility can be very difficult and challenging for our residents and their families.  We are committed to easing that transition by providing emotional and social support during this adjustment period.

​

We also assist with discharge planning for those residents who are here for rehabilitation.  We assist by providing you with the community resources you need to transition successfully back to the community.  We work closely with local home-care companies, durable medical equipment companies, and Medicaid waiver programs.

​

Other duties include advocating for our residents to be sure your emotional and social needs are met and maintained during your stay.  We work directly with Community Mental Health, Senior Wellness Group of Michigan, Probate Court, Hospice and many other agencies to meet your needs.
