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 hospital24.1%State average: 26.1%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit18.1%State average: 13.9%Worse than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.0%State average: 2.2%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 1 minute per resident a day. That is less than the state average of 3 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 injury2.2%State average: 3.1%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)4.3%State average: 4.8%About average
