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 hospital23.2%State average: 22.9%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit15.2%State average: 12.9%About average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.3%State average: 1.4%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 3 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.
Long-term care
For residents who live at the home for months or years.
- Falls with a major injury3.2%State average: 3.5%About average
