Rehab questions

Answers from CMS data and Medicare coverage rules.

Which St. Louis nursing homes are best for rehab?

Medicare's short-stay quality rating measures how well homes do for people recovering after a hospital stay. 7 St. Louis-area homes have 5 stars on it: Aberdeen Heights, Lutheran Convalescent Home, Mason Pointe Care Center, Life Care Center of St Louis, Delmar Gardens of O'Fallon, Creve Coeur Manor, Heritage Care Center.

Does Medicare pay for rehab in a skilled nursing facility?

Medicare Part A covers up to 100 days of skilled nursing facility care per benefit period, if you first had a medically necessary inpatient hospital stay of at least 3 days in a row (time under observation or in the emergency room doesn't count), enter the facility generally within 30 days of leaving the hospital, and need daily skilled care. In 2026 you pay $0 for days 1 to 20 (after the Part A deductible, if you haven't already paid it for the hospital stay), $217 a day for days 21 to 100, and all costs after day 100. Medicare Advantage plans can charge different amounts.

What is the short-stay quality rating?

It is the part of Medicare's quality rating based on short-stay residents: measures such as improvement in function, rehospitalization, emergency visits and successful discharge to the community.

Why do some homes have no short-stay rating?

Homes with too few short-stay residents don't get one. 20 of 97 local homes are unrated on this measure.
