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 hospital12.3%State average: 22.3%Better than average
- Needed an emergency room visit1.8%State average: 11.5%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs8.3%State average: 1.3%Worse than average
Physical therapist time: about 3 minutes per resident a day. That is less than the state average of 5 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
Long-term care

- Falls with a major injury2.7%State average: 3.6%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)0.9%State average: 4.7%Better than average
