What a stay may cost
- Short-term rehab with Medicare: after a qualifying hospital stay, Medicare pays in full for days 1–20. From day 21 to day 100 you pay $217 a day (2026), unless other coverage pays it. Medicare stops after day 100. Estimate a rehab stay →
- Paying privately: ask the home for its daily rate, what it includes and how often it rises. What nursing homes typically cost →
- Medicaid: this home is certified for Medicaid, which pays for most long-term care once savings run low. Ask whether a Medicaid bed is available. Medicaid rules in Alabama →
Medicare amounts from Medicare.gov. Prices vary with room type and care needs, so always confirm with the home.
