Understanding short-term rehab in Massachusetts
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 DPH-licensed nursing homes (M.G.L. Chapter 111, Section 71) and is often Medicare-covered for up to 100 days after a qualifying inpatient stay. A typical monthly range is roughly $13,500 to $17,000 a month if private-pay, though Medicare often covers a qualifying stay.
When you visit, look past the lobby and check these:
- 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
