Who pays, and how full it is

- 84% Medicaid
- 7% Medicare
- 9% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average87%Kentucky typical: 87%
Facility operating cost per resident day$308Kentucky 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.
