IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically 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 generally offers a lower intensity of daily therapy over a longer stay. The facility is operated under for-profit ownership and has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 2013.
According to CMS Care Compare data, this facility's rate of discharging patients to the community (returning home) is worse than the national rate. Its rate of potentially-preventable readmissions during the rehab stay is worse than the national rate, while its readmission rate after discharge is no different than the national rate.

Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on 2 of 5 reported measures, with the remaining measures showing no difference from national rates. Where a measure is not reported, CMS has not published data for it, often due to low case counts, and this should not be interpreted as an indicator of poor quality.
