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.

- Needed an emergency room visit11.3%State average: 11.7%About average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.2%State average: 1.1%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 17 minutes per resident a day. That is more than the state average of 4 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
