Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically provides a lower intensity of therapy over a longer stay.
According to CMS Care Compare, Aiken Regional Medical Centers' rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'No Different than the National Rate.' Its potentially-preventable readmission measures — both readmission during the rehab stay and readmission after discharge — are also each rated 'No Different than the National Rate.' Data on healthcare-associated infections (catheter-associated urinary tract infection and C. diff) were not specified in the available data; when CMS does not publish a measure, it is often due to low patient case counts and should not be interpreted as an indicator of poor quality.
Overall, among the measures CMS reports for this facility, none were rated better than the national benchmark and none were rated worse — CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures.
