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 drugs2.3%State average: 2.0%About average
Physical therapist time: about 1 minute a day per resident, averaged across all residents, including long-term residents who get little or no therapy. That is less than the state average of 3 minutes. It is not one person’s therapy schedule; 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 injury12.8%State average: 4.5%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)3.9%State average: 4.0%About average
