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.
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.0%State average: 0.3%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 29 minutes a day per resident, averaged across all residents, including long-term residents who get little or no therapy. That is about the same as the state average of 27 minutes. It is not one person’s therapy schedule; if rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
Source: Medicare (CMS) quality measures, compared with the Puerto Rico 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, what it includes and how often it rises. What nursing homes typically cost →
- 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.
