About this facility
Galion Community Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Galion, Crawford County, Ohio. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain strength and independence after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than remaining in a long-term care setting. This distinguishes an IRF from a nursing home, which generally offers a slower pace of rehabilitation or long-term custodial care.
Galion Community Hospital has been Medicare-certified since October 1, 2004, and operates as a non-profit facility. According to CMS Care Compare, the facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Its rate of potentially-preventable readmissions, both during the stay and after discharge, is also no different than the national rate. CMS has not published data on healthcare-associated infection rates (catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff) for this facility, which often occurs because of low patient case counts rather than any indication of quality concerns.
Taken together, CMS rates Galion Community Hospital as performing no differently than the national benchmark on the measures it has reported, with 0 measures better and 0 measures worse than the national rate. Families considering this facility for post-stroke, post-surgical, or post-injury rehabilitation should review the full, current details on CMS Care Compare, as ratings and data can be updated over time.
