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 hospital33.7%State average: 28.0%Worse than average
- Needed an emergency room visit6.9%State average: 14.8%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.5%State average: 3.1%Better than average
Source: Medicare (CMS) quality measures, compared with the Louisiana average. Lower is better for every rate shown.
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 and what it includes. As a guide, Louisiana’s Medicaid program uses about $7,200 a month as the average cost of nursing home care (September 2024); see the state’s figure.
- Medicaid: this home isn’t certified for Medicaid, so plan how you would pay if a stay becomes long-term.
Medicare amounts from Medicare.gov. Prices vary with room type and care needs, so always confirm with the home.
