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.
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs3.2%State average: 2.5%Worse than average
Physical therapist time: about 2 minutes per resident a day. That is about the same as the state average of 2 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 injury1.0%State average: 3.1%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)9.5%State average: 6.3%Worse than average
- Given antipsychotic drugs13.7%State average: 21.7%Better than average

- 88% Medicaid
- 3% Medicare
- 8% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average81%Mississippi typical: 87%
