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 hospital20.2%State average: 28.0%Better than average
- Needed an emergency room visit9.6%State average: 14.8%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs4.1%State average: 3.1%Worse than average
Physical therapist time: about 3 minutes per resident a day. That is about the same as the state average of 3 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
