About this facility
Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital Fort Mill is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Fort Mill, York County, South Carolina. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically several hours a day of physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain strength and independence after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers lower-intensity, longer-term custodial care rather than intensive daily rehabilitation.
This facility is operated on a for-profit basis and has been Medicare-certified since October 15, 2024.
According to CMS Care Compare data, the facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community, and its rates of potentially-preventable readmissions during and after a stay, are not currently reported by CMS — often the case when a facility is newly certified or has a low number of qualifying cases, and this does not indicate poor quality.
On healthcare-associated infections, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark for C. diff infections. Data on catheter-associated urinary tract infections was not reported.
Overall, of the five measures CMS typically reports for inpatient rehabilitation facilities, this facility is rated better than the national benchmark on 1 measure, with 0 measures rated worse, and the remaining measures not yet reported.
