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 hospital23.5%State average: 20.6%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit7.9%State average: 9.6%About average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs1.6%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
For residents who live at the home for months or years.
- Falls with a major injury5.2%State average: 3.1%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)5.9%State average: 6.5%About average

- 4% Medicare
- 13% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average93%New York typical: 92%
Cost of care per resident day$300New York typical: $432
