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 hospital16.8%State average: 23.3%Better than average
- Needed an emergency room visit5.5%State average: 11.6%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs1.3%State average: 1.0%Worse than average
Physical therapist time: about 0 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
For residents who live at the home for months or years.
- Falls with a major injury2.1%State average: 3.2%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)3.5%State average: 3.5%About average
- Given antipsychotic drugs4.2%State average: 10.7%Better than average

Beds in use, on average75%Delaware typical: 86%
Cost of care per resident day$574Delaware typical: $413
