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 hospital23.9%State average: 25.7%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit7.1%State average: 11.9%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs1.2%State average: 1.4%About average
Physical therapist time: about 38 minutes a day per resident, averaged across all residents, including long-term residents who get little or no therapy. That is more than the state average of 5 minutes. It is not one person’s therapy schedule; if rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
