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.

- Needed an emergency room visit6.6%State average: 9.6%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs4.0%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.
