What Affects Your Monthly Cost

  • Level of nursing and personal care
  • Private or shared room
  • Medications, therapy, and clinical services
  • Memory or complex medical support
  • Community fees, supplies, and transportation

Rehab vs. Long-Term Care

  • Short-term rehab: Recovery and therapy after a hospital stay, illness, or surgery
  • Long-term care: Ongoing daily care with 24-hour nursing

These are paid for differently. Medicare may cover part of a short-term skilled nursing stay for people who qualify. It does not cover long-term custodial care.
