The facility is operated under for-profit ownership and has been Medicare-certified since March 24, 2020.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Bogalusa Rehabilitation Hospital's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'no different than the national rate.' Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions during the rehab stay, and after discharge, are also each reported as 'no different than the national rate.' Healthcare-associated infection measures, such as catheter-associated infections and C. diff infections, are not published for this facility in the available data — CMS often withholds measures when case counts are too low to report reliably, which does not indicate poor quality.
