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

What a stay may cost
- Medicare: this home isn’t certified for Medicare, so Medicare won’t pay for a stay here.
- Paying privately: ask the home for its daily rate and what it includes. As a guide, Tennessee’s Medicaid program uses about $296 a day (about $9,000 a month) as the average cost of nursing home care (January 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 Tennessee →
