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 hospital21.9%State average: 22.2%

  • Needed an emergency room visit13.4%State average: 10.8%
    Worse than average
  • Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.3%State average: 1.2%
    Better than average

Physical therapist time: about 10 minutes per resident a day. That is more than the state average of 4 minutes. 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: 1 of 5 (much below average)

Who pays, and how full it is

Most residents here have their care paid by Medicaid. In Indiana, Medicaid pays for 65% of resident days at a typical home.

  • 51% Medicaid
  • 17% Medicare
  • 32% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average40%Indiana typical: 73%
Cost of care per resident day$533Indiana typical: $353

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.
