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.
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.0%State average: 1.5%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 3 minutes per resident a day. That is less than the state average of 6 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
Long-term care

- Falls with a major injury6.0%State average: 1.6%Worse than average
