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.

Physical therapist time: about 11 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.
