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 hospital24.5%State average: 20.6%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit13.4%State average: 9.6%Worse than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.4%State average: 1.2%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 23 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 injury1.2%State average: 3.1%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)15.1%State average: 6.5%Worse than average
