About this facility
Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Chicago, Illinois, certified since November 1, 1983. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain strength and independence after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a skilled nursing facility, which generally offers a lower intensity of daily therapy.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility, operated on a non-profit basis, performs no different than the national rate on several key measures. Patients are discharged to the community (return home) at a rate CMS describes as no different than the national rate. Rates of potentially preventable hospital readmission — both from the rehab stay itself and following discharge — are also no different than the national rate. Reported healthcare-associated infection data, specifically C. diff infection rates, are likewise no different than the national benchmark. Catheter-associated infection data were not specified in this record.
Overall, CMS reports 0 of 5 measures as better than the national benchmark and 0 of 5 as worse, indicating performance in line with national averages across the reported measures. Where a measure is not reported, this simply means CMS has not published data for it, often due to low patient case counts, and should not be read as an indicator of quality. This summary reflects CMS Care Compare data as provided.
