title: Stroke Rehabilitation in Nursing Homes.
abstract: Increasing numbers of stroke patients with profound functional, psychological, and cognitive impairments are receiving rehabilitation in Medicare skilled nursing facilities. These facilities vary substantially in the patients they admit, the volume and intensity of therapy they provide, and the outcomes they achieve. Facilities with an orientation toward rehabilitation and community discharge providing more intensive therapy services by a wider range of skilled professionals have better outcomes.
