About this facility
Garden City Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Garden City, Wayne County, Michigan.

This facility has been Medicare-certified since October 1, 1988, and is operated on a non-profit basis.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its readmission rates — both after discharge and during the rehab stay — are no different than the national rate. Reported healthcare-associated infection data (C. diff) shows no different than the national benchmark; catheter-associated infection data was not specified in the available data, which CMS may not publish for facilities with low case counts, and this should not be read as an indication of poor quality.
