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 hospital24.9%State average: 22.4%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit7.0%State average: 11.5%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs1.7%State average: 1.9%About average
Physical therapist time: about 1 minute per resident a day. That is less than the state average of 2 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.

- Falls with a major injury4.8%State average: 4.3%About average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)6.3%State average: 4.4%Worse than average
