Short-term rehab or long-term care?
Medicare rates these separately, and many homes are better at one than the other.

Physical therapist time: about 0 minutes per resident a day. That is less than the state average of 5 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
