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 hospital26.6%State average: 24.2%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit12.3%State average: 13.7%About average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs1.4%State average: 1.7%About average
Physical therapist time: about 1 minute per resident a day. That is less than the state average of 4 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
