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 hospital19.6%State average: 26.0%Better than average
- Needed an emergency room visit13.7%State average: 13.7%About average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.0%State average: 2.2%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 0 minutes per resident a day. That is less than the state average of 2 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.

- Falls with a major injury1.8%State average: 4.1%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)6.7%State average: 4.5%Worse than average
