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 hospital32.6%State average: 24.9%Worse than average
- Needed an emergency room visit8.1%State average: 8.1%About average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.8%State average: 1.2%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 15 minutes per resident a day. That is more than the state average of 6 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
