About this facility
Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital Of City is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas. It has been Medicare-certified since July 10, 1990, and is operated as a for-profit facility. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically several hours a day of physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than remaining in a long-term care setting.
According to CMS Care Compare data, this facility'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 is worse than the national rate, while its readmission rate after discharge is no different than the national rate. Rates of healthcare-associated infections — both catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff infections — are reported as no different than the national benchmark.
Of the five measures CMS reports for this facility, none are rated better than the national benchmark, and one (readmissions during the stay) is rated worse than the national benchmark. The remaining measures are in line with national rates. Where a measure is not reported, that simply means CMS has not published data for it, often due to low patient case counts, and should not be read as an indicator of poor quality.
