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 hospital16.7%State average: 20.6%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit4.6%State average: 9.6%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.9%State average: 1.2%About average
Physical therapist time: about 10 minutes a day per resident, averaged across all residents, including long-term residents who get little or no therapy. That is more than the state average of 7 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 injury0.6%State average: 3.1%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)5.3%State average: 6.5%About average
- Given antipsychotic drugs4.3%State average: 13.7%Better than average
- Hospital stays per 1,000 resident days1.0State average: 1.7Better than average

What a stay may cost
- Short-term rehab with Medicare: after a qualifying hospital stay, Medicare pays in full for days 1–20. From day 21 to day 100 you pay $217 a day (2026), unless other coverage pays it. Medicare stops after day 100. Estimate a rehab stay →
- Paying privately: ask the home for its daily rate and what it includes. As a guide, New York’s Medicaid program uses about $15,282 a month as the average cost of nursing home care in this home’s region (January 2026); see the state’s figure.
- Medicaid: this home is certified for Medicaid, which pays for most long-term care once savings run low. Ask whether a Medicaid bed is available. Medicaid rules in New York →
