Short-term rehab or long-term care?
Medicare rates these separately, and many homes are better at one than the other.
Long-term care
For residents who live at the home for months or years.
- Falls with a major injury1.6%State average: 5.1%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)6.5%State average: 4.9%Worse than average
- Given antipsychotic drugs28.9%State average: 22.7%Worse than average
- Hospital stays per 1,000 resident days0.7State average: 1.5Better than average

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 Dakota’s Medicaid program uses about $13,451 a month as the average cost of nursing home care (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 Dakota →
