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 hospital25.7%State average: 24.1%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit12.8%State average: 12.5%About average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.0%State average: 1.3%Better 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 injury5.3%State average: 3.9%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)5.8%State average: 4.2%Worse than average
