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 hospital31.7%State average: 24.2%
    Worse than average
  • Needed an emergency room visit11.1%State average: 13.7%
    About average
  • Newly given antipsychotic drugs1.9%State average: 1.7%
    About average

Physical therapist time: about 5 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 4 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)

  • Falls with a major injury1.8%State average: 3.9%

Who pays, and how full it is

Many residents here pay privately or through insurance. In Kentucky, Medicaid pays for 74% of resident days at a typical home.

  • 16% Medicaid
  • 25% Medicare
  • 59% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average93%Kentucky typical: 87%
Facility operating cost per resident day$327Kentucky typical: $330

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.

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, what it includes and how often it rises. What nursing homes typically cost →
  • 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 Kentucky →

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