About this facility
Amita Saint Joseph Med Ctr-Joliet is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Joliet, Will County, Illinois. IRFs like this one provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — often several hours a day of physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers lower-intensity, longer-term custodial or rehabilitative care.
This facility has been Medicare-certified since September 1, 1987, and is operated under non-profit ownership.
According to CMS Care Compare, the rate at which patients are discharged back to the community is worse than the national rate. Readmission measures are mixed: the rate of unplanned readmission after discharge is no different than the national rate, while the rate of readmission during the rehab stay is worse than the national rate. Among healthcare-associated infection measures, the C. diff infection rate is no different than the national benchmark; the catheter-associated infection rate was not reported by CMS, which can occur due to low case counts and does not itself indicate a quality issue.
Overall, of the five measures CMS reports for comparison, this facility is rated better than the national benchmark on 0 measures and worse than the national benchmark on 2 measures. Families should review the full, current record on CMS Care Compare, as ratings are updated periodically, and this summary reflects the data vintage supplied.
