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 hospital15.2%State average: 22.5%Better than average
- Needed an emergency room visit8.8%State average: 9.5%About average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs8.3%State average: 1.4%Worse than average
Physical therapist time: about 2 minutes per resident a day. That is less than the state average of 6 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.

- Falls with a major injury3.3%State average: 3.1%About average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)6.1%State average: 4.8%Worse than average
