What is your admission process?
To be admitted to Woodbine, we must determine that we are able to take care of your needs. To determine this, we must be provided medical information from the hospital where you are or by the physician that is caring for you currently.

We also need to determine what payment source will be able to help cover the cost of your stay, whether it be for short or long term arrangements.

We require that each person coming to Woodbine has a responsible party that will complete an Admissions Application and an Admission Contract prior to admission. You may complete the application prior to admission and fax it to us at: 703-837-6511 or 703-837-6522.

If you are interested in coming to Woodbine, please contact us for bed availability.

What insurances do you accept?
We accept Medicare, Medicaid, VA, and many private insurances including, but not limited to: Kaiser Permanente, Tricare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, MAMSI, and Aetna.

What does Medicare cover?
Medicare Part A can help pay for up to 100 days of skilled care in a skilled nursing facility during a benefit period if the person qualifies under Medicare guidelines . When a patient meets the qualifications under Medicare, services for the first 20 days are fully paid by Medicare. All covered services for the next 80 days are paid by Medicare, except for a daily coinsurance amount. The daily coinsurance for 2007 is $124 per day . The patient is responsible for the coinsurance.

For more information and about what Medicare's qualifications are for coverage, please contact us.

Can I come to Woodbine for Outpatient therapy?
Yes! Many people come back to Woodbine after they graduate from our inpatient therapy program. We also have many people that come for outpatient therapy who have never stayed with us before.

You just need a prescription from your physician and insurance that covers outpatient therapy. Contact us and we can help you determine what your insurance will pay.

What are visiting hours?
Visiting hours are from 10:00am to 8:00pm . These hours are established so as not to interfere with your rest, personal care needs and the privacy of other residents. In order to accommodate you and your family, these hours are flexible. If special circumstances are such that visits cannot be made at these times, you can talk to your Director of Nursing Care to make alternative visiting arrangements.

Do you allow pets to visit?
We do allow pets to visit when we are provided proof of current vaccinations. A “Pet Visitor Badge” must be worn at all times. Contact the receptionist during regular business hours at 703-535-7120 for rules and requirements on pet visitation.

How do I make a Hair Salon appointment?
The Hair Salon at Woodbine is a full service salon for both men and women. Appointments can be arranged by calling the reception desk at 703-535-7120 during regular business hours.
