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 hospital15.4%State average: 26.0%Better than average
- Needed an emergency room visit4.7%State average: 13.7%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.0%State average: 2.2%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 1 minute per resident a day. That is less than the state average of 2 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.
- Falls with a major injury5.2%State average: 4.1%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)4.1%State average: 4.5%About average
- Given antipsychotic drugs28.6%State average: 23.5%Worse than average
- Hospital stays per 1,000 resident days1.2State average: 2.1Better than average

Who pays, and how full it is
Most residents here have their care paid by Medicaid. In Missouri, Medicaid pays for 65% of resident days at a typical home.
- 69% Medicaid
- 5% Medicare
- 25% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average75%Missouri typical: 71%
Cost of care per resident day$247Missouri typical: $254
Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending August 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.
