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 hospital18.3%State average: 20.6%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit7.4%State average: 9.6%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs1.7%State average: 1.2%Worse than average
Physical therapist time: about 4 minutes per resident a day. That is less than the state average of 7 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
Long-term care

- Falls with a major injury6.9%State average: 3.1%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)5.7%State average: 6.5%About average
