Long Term Care - Cascades at Delray Beach

Q: Does Medicare cover long-term care?

Generally, no - Medicare covers short-term rehab and limited skilled nursing under specific conditions, but not ongoing custodial long-term care. Most long-term stays are covered through Medicaid, long-term care insurance, or private pay. Our admissions team can walk you through what applies to your situation.

Q: Can my family member move here directly, without a hospital stay first?

Yes. While many long-term residents transition from a hospital or short-term rehab stay, direct admission from home or from another care setting is also common. Our admissions team handles the assessment and paperwork either way.

Q: How involved can a family stay in day-to-day care decisions?

As involved as you'd like to be. Care plans are reviewed regularly with input from the resident and family, and our care coordinators are a direct point of contact for questions or concerns between those reviews.

Q: What happens if my family member's needs increase further?

Because Cascades offers a full continuum of care on one campus, increased needs typically mean an adjusted care plan within the same suite or a transfer to a higher level of support - not a search for a new facility.

Personalized Care for Every Stage of Life

At Cascades, long-term care is about more than meeting medical needs. It’s about creating a place where residents feel comfortable, supported, and connected while receiving the attentive care they need each day.

Our nurses, physicians, therapists, and caregivers work together to provide personalized care built around each resident’s individual needs, preferences, and routines. With 24-hour skilled nursing and a team that takes the time to truly know each resident, families can feel confident their loved one is in caring and capable hands.

As part of the greater Cascades community, residents also benefit from a full continuum of care – all within one connected campus. Should needs change over time, additional support is available without leaving the community they know and the people they trust.

Cascades accepts Medicaid, long-term care insurance, and private pay. Our admissions team works closely with residents and families to help navigate coverage and make the transition as smooth as possible.

Long-term care vs. Short-term rehab

Cascades offers both, so it’s worth confirming which one fits before you read further – if you’re looking for a shorter recovery stay after surgery or a hospitalization, our short-term rehab has what you need.

For families weighing whether to move from short-term rehab straight into long-term care, Cascades also offers respite stays – a short trial period that lets a resident and their family experience daily life here before committing to a full move.

FOR CASCADES RESIDENTS

When your needs change, your address doesn't have to

Care needs don’t always change all at once. For residents already living in independent or assisted living, a move into long-term skilled nursing is a conversation with our care team about what’s needed now, followed by a transfer within the same community – not a search for a new facility during an already difficult stretch.

A single care team tracks your needs as they evolve, long before a move is necessary

Your medical history and preferences carry over automatically

Spouses and close friends in other levels of care remain a short walk away

Family keeps the same building, the same staff, and the same routines

Norman Good

Rehab Patient

They taught me how to walk again.
When I got here, I needed help just to get from my bed to a wheelchair. The therapy team worked with me every day, and now I walk without any assistance at all. I’m so grateful to everyone at Physical Therapy, and to all the friends I made here along the way.

I can walk longer distances every day.
My goal was to build my strength back up, and the team here helped me do exactly that. I’m walking farther than I could when I started, and I feel stronger every week. Thank you to Shelly, Karen, Jessica, and Daniel for all your help.

Arnold Greenberg

Physical, Occupational & Speech Therapy Patient

They performed a miracle for me.
I came to Cascades from a place that kept me in bed, using a Hoyer lift just to move. Dina and her team got me up and going from day one – she told me, ‘He won’t lay in bed here,’ and she meant it. Now I’m walking with a walker, transferring on my own, and even my speech has improved. This Physical Therapy department is amazing. Because of them, I’m finally going home.

How do I know if my family member needs long-term care instead of assisted living?

The general line is 24-hour nursing need: assisted living supports daily tasks like bathing and medication reminders, while long term skilled nursing is for residents who need continuous clinical oversight - wound care, complex medication management, or monitoring for an ongoing condition. Our care team can do an assessment and walk you through which level fits.
