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 hospital27.7%State average: 22.5%Worse than average
- Needed an emergency room visit22.9%State average: 11.3%Worse than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs1.8%State average: 1.0%Worse than average
Physical therapist time: about 2 minutes per resident a day. That is about the same as the state average of 3 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 injury5.6%State average: 4.4%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)1.1%State average: 4.2%Better than average
