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 hospital20.1%State average: 22.0%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit3.9%State average: 15.7%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.3%State average: 1.1%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 7 minutes per resident a day. That is more 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 injury3.4%State average: 3.5%About average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)5.9%State average: 5.2%About average

Who pays, and how full it is

- 78% Medicaid
- 13% Medicare
- 9% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average94%New Mexico typical: 83%
Cost of care per resident day$426New Mexico typical: $412
