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 hospital12.7%State average: 24.0%Better than average
- Needed an emergency room visit23.7%State average: 11.7%Worse than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs3.3%State average: 1.1%Worse than average
Physical therapist time: about 2 minutes 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.
Long-term care
For residents who live at the home for months or years.
- Falls with a major injury4.9%State average: 3.0%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)3.3%State average: 5.1%Better than average
