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, North Carolina’s Medicaid program uses about $11,904 a month as the average cost of nursing home care (June 2026); see the state’s figure.
- 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 North Carolina →
Medicare amounts from Medicare.gov. Prices vary with room type and care needs, so always confirm with the home.
