Short-term rehab or long-term care?
Medicare rates these separately, and many homes are better at one than the other.
Short-term rehab
For a stay of a few weeks after a hospital visit, such as after surgery or a stroke.
- Sent back to the hospital33.8%State average: 24.8%Worse than average
- Needed an emergency room visit21.6%State average: 11.3%Worse than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs2.9%State average: 2.0%Worse than average
Physical therapist time: about 1 minute per resident a day. That is less than the state average of 2 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.

- Falls with a major injury4.4%State average: 3.3%Worse than average
