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 hospital14.8%State average: 19.9%Better than average
- Needed an emergency room visit8.1%State average: 13.4%Better than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.6%State average: 1.3%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 6 minutes per resident a day. That is about the same as the state average of 5 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
Long-term care
For residents who live at the home for months or years.
- Falls with a major injury1.1%State average: 2.6%Better than average

Beds in use, on average76%Washington typical: 75%
