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 hospital30.2%State average: 22.2%Worse than average
- Needed an emergency room visit6.0%State average: 13.4%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs1.2%State average: 1.3%About average
Physical therapist time: about 4 minutes per resident a day. That is about the same as the state average of 4 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
Long-term care

- Falls with a major injury2.6%State average: 4.4%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)3.0%State average: 4.2%Better than average
