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 hospital30.5%State average: 26.1%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit20.3%State average: 13.9%Worse than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.0%State average: 2.2%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 7 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 injury2.7%State average: 3.1%About average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)3.8%State average: 4.8%Better than average

Who pays, and how full it is
Many residents here pay privately or through insurance. In Illinois, Medicaid pays for 62% of resident days at a typical home.
- 37% Medicaid
- 3% Medicare
- 60% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average48%Illinois typical: 73%
Facility operating cost per resident day$218Illinois typical: $320
Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending June 2025. The cost per day is what care costs the home to provide, not the price you would pay; ask the home for its private-pay rate. A busy home may have fewer open beds, so ask about availability.
