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.
- Sent back to the hospital32.2%State average: 25.0%Worse than average
- Needed an emergency room visit3.8%State average: 11.6%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs2.1%State average: 2.6%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 9 minutes a day per resident, averaged across all residents, including long-term residents who get little or no therapy. That is more than the state average of 3 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.
- Falls with a major injury1.4%State average: 3.2%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)3.9%State average: 5.6%Better than average
- Given antipsychotic drugs19.8%State average: 19.9%About average
- Hospital stays per 1,000 resident days2.9State average: 2.1Worse than 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, Georgia’s Medicaid program uses about $11,122 a month as the average cost of nursing home care (April 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 Georgia →
