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 hospital26.5%State average: 26.1%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit9.2%State average: 13.9%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs2.1%State average: 2.2%About average
Physical therapist time: about 4 minutes per resident a day. That is more 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 injury2.4%State average: 3.1%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)5.5%State average: 4.8%About average
