About this facility
Brazosport Memorial Hospital in Lake Jackson, Texas (Brazoria County) includes a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), certified since January 1, 1996. An IRF provides 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 skilled nursing facility, which typically offers a lower intensity of therapy over a longer stay.
According to CMS Care Compare data, this facility is rated worse than the national rate for discharging patients back to the community, meaning a smaller share of patients returned home compared with the national average. On potentially preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, the facility performs no different than the national rate. For healthcare-associated infections, the C. diff infection measure is also no different than the national benchmark; a catheter-associated urinary tract infection rate was not reported by CMS, which can occur due to low case counts and does not indicate poor quality.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of the 5 reported measures, with 1 measure worse than the national rate and the remaining reported measures showing no difference. The facility is organized as a non-profit provider. Families are encouraged to review the most current details directly on CMS Care Compare.
