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: 1.1%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 5 minutes per resident a day. That is about the same as the state average of 5 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
Long-term care

- Falls with a major injury0.0%State average: 3.5%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)2.5%State average: 5.2%Better than average
- Given antipsychotic drugs1.1%State average: 14.5%Better than average
- Hospital stays per 1,000 resident days3.7State average: 1.7Worse than average
