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 injury0.7%State average: 2.6%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)9.2%State average: 4.3%Worse than average
- Given antipsychotic drugs25.0%State average: 15.1%Worse than average
- Hospital stays per 1,000 resident days1.2State average: 1.3About 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, Washington’s Medicaid program uses about $462 a day (about $14,054 a month) as the average cost of nursing home care (October 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 Washington →
