Short term rehabilitation

Therapists, nurses, and physicians work as a team to bring patients to their highest level of function, with a customized rehabilitative treatment program for each patient. One point worth noting for families comparing facilities is that the therapy staff is dedicated in house rather than contracted out. Rehabilitation programs cover orthopedic conditions such as hip, shoulder, and knee fractures and replacement surgery, cardiac events including bypass surgery, heart attack, valve replacement, and congestive heart failure, and a specialized stroke recovery program addressing mobility, swallowing, speech, and cognition. The facility also offers in house kidney dialysis.

Long term skilled nursing care

The team strives to provide each resident with independence, self confidence, and dignity in an attentive and comfortable atmosphere, and clergy are available to attend to spiritual needs. Skilled nursing services include respiratory, occupational, speech, and physical therapy, IV therapy, wound care management, pain management, palliative care, an Alzheimer's disease and dementia care program, nutrition management, social and psychological services, pet therapy, and recreational activities.

Respite care

Respite care gives family caregivers a break, whether after a hospital stay, during travel, or simply to recharge. Respite residents receive personalized attention to their medical, dietary, and social needs.

Star ratings change with each inspection cycle and vary between reporting sources, so the reliable place to check current scores, staffing data, and inspection history is the official Medicare Care Compare profile for this facility. The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration publishes inspection reports for every licensed nursing home in the state, and our guide to how nursing home ratings work explains what the stars actually measure. We always advise comparing several facilities so the choice rests on care quality rather than on whichever bed opens first.

Worried About How to Pay for Care at Manor Pines?

While you consider a skilled nursing facility, the harder question is usually how to pay for it. Skilled nursing care in Florida averages roughly $10,645 per month, and our guide to what a Florida nursing home costs breaks the numbers down. A comprehensive plan can cover living costs today while preserving a legacy for your children, but only if it is built before the money is already going out the door.

Medicare will not pay for long term care

Many Americans believe Medicare covers long term care expenses. It does not. Under Medicare's skilled nursing facility benefit, coverage requires a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days. Medicare then covers days 1 through 20 in full once you meet the Part A deductible, which is $1,736 in 2026. Days 21 through 100 carry a coinsurance of $217 per day, which a Medicare supplement or Medicare Advantage plan may cover in part. After day 100, Medicare pays nothing, and it never covers long term custodial care.

Where Medicaid comes in

Medicaid planning can protect your assets in a way that lets you become eligible for Florida's long term care programs, including ICP Medicaid for nursing home care and the Medicaid Waiver for care at home or in assisted living. To qualify in 2026, a single applicant generally needs monthly income under $2,982 and countable assets under $2,000.

Those numbers alarm people, and they should not. You do not need to spend down your assets to qualify, and it is often possible to keep the family home rather than selling it to become eligible. Timing is what matters most. Medicaid reviews transfers made during the 60 month look back period. Giving money or property to family other than your spouse during those five years can create a penalty period. If assets need to move within five years, there are limited and specific ways to do it, and our Florida Medicaid planning attorneys know which ones survive review. It is also worth knowing how Medicaid estate recovery works after death, since Florida pursues claims only against probate assets.

How Elder Needs Law Helps Broward Families

Elder Needs Law is a Florida based firm handling asset protection, estate planning, and Medicaid planning. Partnering with us tends to produce a few concrete outcomes.

• Holding on to more investment and retirement savings for your children
• Avoiding long term care expenses that would otherwise drain your savings
• Keeping enough insurance in place to shield your assets from adverse outcomes
• Eliminating probate expenses

It is best not to wait too long to begin. If you do, some or all of your estate can be lost paying for nursing home care that planning could have covered.

Comprehensive estate planning

Our estate planning attorneys prepare wills, trusts, advance directives, and powers of attorney, the documents that decide who manages your affairs and how your assets pass to the next generation.

Elder law, guardianship, and probate

Our broader elder law practice covers Medicaid planning, retirement benefits, and nursing home resident rights. Guardianship arises when a court must appoint someone to care for an older person who can no longer make their own decisions, which is largely avoidable with a durable power of attorney signed in advance. Probate reviews an estate and distributes it under the will, and in Florida it is slow and expensive, so our probate attorneys work to eliminate the need for it where they can.

A Bed at Manor Pines Is the Easy Part, Paying for It Is Not

Families touring skilled nursing facilities are usually running a quiet calculation about how many months of private pay they can sustain. That calculation changes entirely once Medicaid is in the picture, and the earlier you look at it the more of your options are still open. A good first step is to gather recent financial statements, any current benefit letters, and a realistic picture of the care needed now and over the next year. Bring that to a consultation and we will map out what Medicaid would cover, what can be protected, and what the five year look back means for your timeline. When you are ready, schedule a consultation with our Florida elder law team. We serve families throughout Florida, in person or remotely, in English and Spanish.
