Short-term rehab or long-term care?

Medicare rates these separately, and many homes are better at one than the other.

Short-term rehab

For a stay of a few weeks after a hospital visit, such as after surgery or a stroke.

Medicare quality rating: 3 of 5 (average)

  • Sent back to the hospital26.9%State average: 23.0%

  • Needed an emergency room visit10.3%State average: 11.2%

  • Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.0%State average: 1.5%
    Better than average

Physical therapist time: about 3 minutes a day per resident, averaged across all residents, including long-term residents who get little or no therapy. That is less than the state average of 6 minutes. It is not one person’s therapy schedule; if rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.

Long-term care

For residents who live at the home for months or years.

Medicare quality rating: 4 of 5 (above average)

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 and what it includes. As a guide, California’s Medicaid program uses about $14,440 a month as the average cost of nursing home care (January 2026); see the state’s figure.
  • 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 California →

Medicare amounts from Medicare.gov. Prices vary with room type and care needs, so always confirm with the home.
