Short-term rehab or long-term care?
Medicare rates these separately, and many homes are better at one than the other.

- 0% Medicaid
- 8% Medicare
- 92% Private pay, insurance and other
Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending December 2024. 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.
