About this facility
Ascension St Vincent'S Southside is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida, operated as a non-profit organization. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than remaining in a long-term care setting.
According to CMS Care Compare data (certification date 07/01/2025), this facility's discharge-to-community rate — how often patients are able to return home after their stay — is no different than the national rate. Its readmission measures, both from the rehab stay itself and following discharge, are also no different than the national rate, meaning patients are neither more nor less likely to be readmitted to a hospital than the national average. For healthcare-associated infections, the reported C. diff infection rate is no different than the national benchmark. A catheter-associated infection rate was not listed in the available data, which may reflect that CMS has not published this measure, often due to low case counts, rather than any indication of quality concerns.
Overall, 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 — indicating performance in line with national norms across the categories reported. Families are encouraged to review the full, current record on CMS Care Compare for the most up-to-date details.
