You can tell that this facility is well taken care of! There are lots of familiar faces throughout the staff – last time I was there, I was talking to one of the nurses that has been there for over 20 years! It seems like a great place to work and their staff really prides themselves on building relationships with the residents. The staff all know the residents by name and even remember me too when I come for the outdoor visits during this pandemic! We have been so lucky that we found such a great place right off the bat! They offer health services with doctors coming to see the residents on a regular basis, awesome therapy services, laundry, and around the clock care. There is always someone there to help get her whatever my grandma needs. This facility is very impressive! We love knowing that she is safe and sound at Doverwood!

Huntington Court is such a blessing!! I first chose one of top recommended places for rehab therapy that is all they specialized in. After having my husband at Huntington Court for a week he’s already received more effective therapy and care than he got the whole month at the specialty rehab facility. I won’t go into to all the details but believe me fancy movie theaters and lounge areas is not how you should base your decision for rehab. My only regret is not looking at more facilities and thinking the fanciest provided the best care. I know if he has any chance of coming home we have chosen the right place. If he can’t come home that will be tough but he loves it where he at; the staff that are so kind and helpful, his beautiful room, and the food! I honestly can’t thank you all enough at Huntington Court! Sincerely, Mrs. Endres

The staff was very knowledgeable, patient in answering any questions we had, and very informative. I didn’t see anything that was out of place. There were a lot of open spaces for people to gather. They have a cafeteria and a chapel. They showed us the private and semi-private rooms. It’s like the size of a normal private room but only with two beds in it.

I wouldn’t recomend any elderly family member or friend going here !!! My father was there in Jan 2022 for rehab after back surgery . He received very little rehab and was left in his bed with a diaper . He was capable of going to the bathroom with assistance . Most of the staff seemed put out every time we called for assistance . The nurses were great but the aids were horribly and treated my dad like garbage . The place was dirty and every time the food was brought out it had Nats flying around . It would be at least a half an hour or more to get someone when we rang the buzzer for help . The lock on the front door was broken so the safety concerned me As well . Anyone could have walked in off the street!! Thank the Lord I was there constantly to observe the lack of care and pulled him out after a few days . Otherwise he would have never left in any shape to go home .

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Hamilton, OH
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
Free Resources for Seniors in Hamilton, OH
In this section, there are a few resources to assist seniors as they explore their long-term care options in Hamilton. The Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio has a range of services and programs for seniors, whether they are considering residing in a local nursing home or aging-in-place at home with the help of visiting homemakers and nurses.
The PASSPORT program includes pre-screening for Medicaid eligibility as well as providing housekeeping and skilled nursing care to homebound seniors. Case managers can perform the pre-admission process by phone and can assist seniors with applying for Medicaid, which also covers other medical needs, such as physician care and prescription medications. To apply for the PASSPORT Medicaid waiver, contact a case manager at the Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio.
In addition to providing Medicaid waivers, the Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio has a wide range of services and programs for seniors in the five-county region, including Butler County. Seniors can apply for programs that can delay placement in a nursing home. Caregivers can find educational opportunities and support groups. The call center is a convenient point-of-entry for seniors looking to explore their long-term care options.
Ombudsmen investigate issues involving the wellbeing of residents in long-term care facilities, including nursing homes. Seniors and their loved ones can contact ombudsmen regarding cases of lack of quality personal care services or a lack in healthy meal options, as well as any instances of elder abuse. Ombudsmen stay up to date on state and local nursing home regulations.
Provided by the Ohio State Department of Insurance, OSHIIP offers Medicare beneficiaries one-on-one health insurance counseling. Seniors and caregivers can learn about and compare plans to find what best fits their needs. For seniors who qualify, financial assistance is available to cover out-of-pocket costs, such as prescription medications and medical supplies. A local counselor can be found through the Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio or by calling the phone number provided.
