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 hospital36.1%State average: 25.7%Worse than average
- Needed an emergency room visit8.6%State average: 12.3%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs2.9%State average: 1.5%Worse than average
Physical therapist time: about 5 minutes per resident a day. That is more than the state average of 4 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.

- Falls with a major injury4.2%State average: 3.3%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)1.2%State average: 3.8%Better than average

Who pays, and how full it is
Most residents here have their care paid by Medicaid. In Texas, Medicaid pays for 66% of resident days at a typical home.
- 72% Medicaid
- 5% Medicare
- 22% Private pay, insurance and other
Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending September 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.
