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 hospital29.6%State average: 24.9%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit19.3%State average: 12.9%Worse than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.9%State average: 1.2%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 6 minutes per resident a day. That is more than the state average of 3 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.

- Falls with a major injury1.4%State average: 3.2%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)4.1%State average: 3.4%Worse than average

Who pays, and how full it is
Residents’ care here is paid by a mix of Medicaid, Medicare and private pay. In Ohio, Medicaid pays for 48% of resident days at a typical home.

- 23% Medicare
- 33% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average84%Ohio typical: 85%
Cost of care per resident day$380Ohio typical: $331
Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending December 2024. The cost per day is what care costs the home to provide, not the price you would pay; ask the home for its private-pay rate. A busy home may have fewer open beds, so ask about availability.
