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 hospital26.0%State average: 23.7%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit10.4%State average: 10.4%About average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.3%State average: 1.2%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 10 minutes per resident a day. That is more than the state average of 6 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
