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 drugs1.6%State average: 1.5%About average
Physical therapist time: about 1 minute a day per resident, averaged across all residents, including long-term residents who get little or no therapy. That is less than the state average of 4 minutes. It is not one person’s therapy schedule; if rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
Long-term care
For residents who live at the home for months or years.
- Falls with a major injury4.4%State average: 3.3%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)4.6%State average: 3.8%Worse than average
- Given antipsychotic drugs7.2%State average: 9.6%Better than average
- Hospital stays per 1,000 resident days2.2State average: 2.2About average

Who pays, and how full it is
Residents’ care here is paid by a mix of Medicaid, Medicare and private pay. In Texas, Medicaid pays for 66% of resident days at a typical home.
- 30% Medicaid
- 35% Medicare
- 35% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average8%Texas typical: 67%
Facility operating cost per resident day$1,523Texas typical: $270
Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending August 2025. 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.
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, Texas’s Medicaid program uses about $262 a day (about $7,981 a month) as the average cost of nursing home care (September 2025); 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 Texas →
Medicare amounts from Medicare.gov. Prices vary with room type and care needs, so always confirm with the home.
