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 hospital11.9%State average: 25.7%Better than average
- Needed an emergency room visit15.0%State average: 12.3%Worse than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs2.4%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 injury2.4%State average: 3.3%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)6.1%State average: 3.8%Worse than average

Who pays, and how full it is
