The length of stay data were striking: the median length of stay in a nursing home before death was 5 months. the average length of stay was longer at 14 months due to a small number of study participants who had very long lengths of stay. 65% died within 1 year of nursing home admission. 53% died within 6 months of nursing home admission.
Nearly one in 10 residents (75 to 84) live in a nursing home for five or more years, three in 10 (same age group) stay less than 100 days, the maximum duration covered by Medicare. Convalescent nursing home care, which follows a major surgery or post-hospital visit is short-term and usually covered by Medicare.
