About this facility

This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers lower-intensity, longer-term custodial care rather than intensive daily therapy aimed at discharge.
This facility has been Medicare-certified since July 1, 1989, and is operated as a non-profit organization.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'No Different than the National Rate.'

The healthcare-associated infection rate for C. diff is reported as 'No Different than the National Benchmark.'
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 measures — meaning its reported results are generally in line with national performance.
