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.
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs2.7%State average: 2.0%Worse than average
Physical therapist time: about 1 minute per resident a day. That is less 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 injury7.0%State average: 5.5%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)8.3%State average: 4.6%Worse than average
