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 hospital18.5%State average: 22.5%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit18.2%State average: 9.5%Worse than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs1.6%State average: 1.4%About average
Physical therapist time: about 3 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.
Long-term care
