About this facility
Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital Of Flore is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Florence, South Carolina, certified since September 5, 1991, and operated on a for-profit basis. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level therapy—often including 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 nursing home, which typically provides longer-term, lower-intensity custodial or skilled care rather than intensive daily rehabilitation.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Readmission rates during the rehab stay are worse than the national rate, while readmissions after discharge are no different than the national rate. On healthcare-associated infections, the facility performs better than the national benchmark for C. diff infections; catheter-associated urinary tract infection data was not provided in this dataset, meaning CMS may not have published it, often due to low case counts—this is not an indication of poor quality.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 1 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on 1 of 5. The remaining measures are reported as no different than the national rate. This summary reflects CMS Care Compare data as most recently published; families are encouraged to verify current details directly on Care Compare.
