WHAT IS THE HAVEN?
The Haven offers the highest level of care for older adults. This includes 24-hour room and board and health care services, including transferring in and out of bed, and providing assistance with feeding, bathing, and dressing.
DOES INSURANCE COVER THE COSTS OF THE HAVEN?
Long-term custodial care is not covered by Medicare, Medigap or commercial insurance unless an individual has had a qualifying hospital stay (at least three nights) and qualifies for skilled nursing care. An individual qualifies for up to 100 days in their SNF benefit period, however most residents don’t use the full benefit period. After 20 days in a SNF, an individual is responsible for the daily Medicare co-payment of $167 if their Medigap insurance doesn’t cover the costs. Brandermill Woods will also assist in billing an individual's Long-Term Care health insurance if applicable.

DO YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN?
We have a written emergency plan that is reviewed and tested every year. Our plan addresses the following types of emergencies:
- Weather emergencies such as tornadoes, hurricanes and winter weather
- Fire
- Natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods
- Security incidents such as bomb threats, terrorism and active shooters
All staff are trained on emergency procedures. They participate in drills and exercises to test their knowledge. Residents are asked to take part in all drills so they can know what to expect in an actual emergency.
