Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Coverage
Paying for Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Care
Skilled Nursing and Short term Rehabilitation are often funded differently than residential senior living. Coverage depends on care needs, length of stay and eligibility for government programs or insurance.
Medicare Coverage Basics
Medicare may cover up to 100 days of Skilled Nursing or Short term Rehabilitation following a qualifying hospital stay, when skilled services are needed. Coverage rules, co payments and timelines vary.
Medicare does not generally cover long term residential care or Assisted Living.
Medicaid and Long term Nursing Care
Medicaid may help pay for ongoing Skilled Nursing or Long term Care for individuals who meet financial and medical eligibility requirements. Rules, coverage and available services vary by state.
