2024 national cost benchmark

$348/dayNursing home, private room
$308/dayNursing home, semiprivate room

These national averages come from a representative survey of more than 32,000 long-term-care providers. They are planning context, not University Heights Care Center's price, a quote, evidence of availability, or an insurance-covered amount. Room, care needs, fees, payer, and location can materially change cost.

CMS cost-report accounting rate

From its public CMS cost report, University Heights Care Center takes in an average of about $300 per resident-day across all payers — Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay combined. That is a facility-wide accounting average, not a private-pay quote, and it is not a monthly price: Medicare short-stay rehab is billed at a far higher daily rate than long-term custodial care, so the day-rate reflects payer mix as much as price.
