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.
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.0%State average: 1.9%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 2 minutes a day per resident, averaged across all residents, including long-term residents who get little or no therapy. That is about the same as the state average of 2 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 injury4.6%State average: 4.3%About average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)3.6%State average: 4.4%About average
- Given antipsychotic drugs20.2%State average: 18.1%About average

Who pays, and how full it is
Most residents here have their care paid by Medicaid. In Kansas, Medicaid pays for 57% of resident days at a typical home.
- 77% Medicaid
- 3% Medicare
- 21% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average87%Kansas typical: 84%
Facility operating cost per resident day$249Kansas typical: $318
Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending December 2024. 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.
