What Medicaid pays nursing homes
Washington publishes what its Medicaid program pays a nursing facility per resident per day. It is not a private-pay price and it is not what a family is billed. It is useful because it shows what the state considers the cost of a day of nursing-home care.
Day-weighted mean daily rate
$404.31per day
That works out to about $12,291 a month at 30.4 days. The monthly figure is our arithmetic, not a number the state published.
Median we calculated from the state's own facility rate file. Period: July 1, 2026. Calculated across 183 facilities in the state's rate file.
