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 drugs0.0%State average: 1.2%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 5 minutes 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 6 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 injury0.0%State average: 2.3%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)6.4%State average: 5.4%About average
- Given antipsychotic drugs6.1%State average: 12.7%Better than average
Source: Medicare (CMS) quality measures, compared with the New Jersey average. Lower is better for every rate shown.
