Short-Term Rehab: what you're actually buying
Short-term rehab is skilled nursing and therapy after a hospital stay — physical, occupational, and speech therapy aimed at getting a patient home.
It is provided in LARA-licensed nursing homes (Public Health Code, 1978 PA 368, Part 217) and is often Medicare-covered for up to 100 days after a qualifying inpatient stay. A typical monthly range is roughly $9,000 to $12,000 a month if private-pay, though Medicare often covers a qualifying stay.
The details that matter most rarely show up in the brochure:
- whether Medicare will cover the stay and for how long
- the therapy hours per day and the discharge-planning process
- the facility's record for returning patients home rather than to the hospital
