How long does Medicare pay for rehab in a nursing home? The length of stay is only one consideration among many for elderly adults and their caregivers. Medicare offers a length of stay from 20 to 100 days; however, not all days are no cost. However, the ability to stay in rehab for more than one week varies by individual. Caregiving expert Pamela D Wilson encourages aging adults and their caregivers to become knowledgeable about how their Medicare plan works. For those who remain in a nursing home on rehab, day 21 marks the start of a skilled nursing co-pay rate that increases each year. Beyond the answer to how long Medicare pays for rehab, there are many other considerations that aging adults and their caregivers must know to avoid unexpected surprises about length of stay, co-pays, what if an adult is discharged and returns to the hospital, and then to a nursing home.
