About this facility
Encompass Rehabilitation Hospital Of Montgomery is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Montgomery, Alabama, certified since May 11, 1987. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy—often several hours a day of physical, occupational, and speech therapy under medical supervision—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 offers a lower, longer-term level of care rather than intensive short-term rehabilitation.
According to CMS Care Compare data, this facility discharges patients to the community at a rate that is no different than the national rate. On potentially-preventable readmission measures, both the readmission-during-stay rate and the readmission-after-discharge rate are worse than the national rate. For healthcare-associated infections, the catheter-associated urinary tract infection rate is worse than the national benchmark, while the C. difficile infection rate is better than the national benchmark.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 1 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark or rate on 3 of 5 reported measures, with one measure showing no difference from the national rate. This facility is operated under for-profit ownership. Families and patients should review the current details on CMS Care Compare, as measures can be updated over time, and should not infer that any unreported measure indicates poor quality—CMS sometimes withholds measures due to low case counts.
