Jenkins Pine Haven Earns Medicare Certification to Accept New Residents After a Hospital Stay Sheboygan Falls, WI -- Pine Haven Christian Home has been Medicare certified effective October 1, 2004. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), as part of the federal government’s Department of Health and Human Services, oversees the Medicare program and grants certification after an extensive application and detailed approval process. To become Medicare certified, Pine Haven had to assure CMS that its policies and procedures met federal standards. The nursing staff was trained to conduct nursing assessments as required by Medicare regulations. “Pine Haven has been Medicaid certified for many years. The requirements for Medicare and Medicaid certification are very similar, so becoming Medicare certified required minimal adjustments,” said Jeff Jenkins, Administrator of Pine Haven. “We are constantly searching for ways to exceed the expectations of our current and potential residents. Our Medicare certification will allow people to stay at Pine Haven after a hospitalization. They previously would have had to go to another facility that was Medicare certified.” Pine Haven Christian Home was opened in 1950 and expanded in 1992 to the current size of 71 residents in the nursing home wing and 136 rooms in the residential center wing. While supported by eighteen local churches, residents of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome. Pine Haven’s mission is to provide quality, compassionate care in a Christian environment.
