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 hospital23.9%State average: 22.6%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit4.1%State average: 11.2%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs1.1%State average: 1.7%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 13 minutes per resident a day. That is more than the state average of 5 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
