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 hospital25.2%State average: 23.0%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit6.7%State average: 11.2%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.6%State average: 1.5%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 5 minutes a day per resident, averaged across all residents, including long-term residents who get little or no therapy. That is about the same as the state average of 6 minutes. It is not one person’s therapy schedule; if rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
Long-term care
For residents who live at the home for months or years.
- Falls with a major injury4.2%State average: 1.6%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)1.4%State average: 4.3%Better than average
