What Medicaid pays nursing homes
Colorado 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.
Statewide average daily rate
$288.78per day
That works out to about $8,779 a month at 30.4 days. The monthly figure is our arithmetic, not a number the state published.
