About this facility
Garfield Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Monterey Park, Los Angeles County, California. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home safely. This is different from long-term custodial care; the focus is on active recovery over a relatively short stay.
Garfield Medical Center has been Medicare-certified since November 1, 2004, and operates as a for-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 potentially-preventable readmission rates — both during the rehab stay and after discharge — are also no different than the national rate. Its healthcare-associated C. diff infection rate is no different than the national benchmark. A separate catheter-associated infection measure was not detailed in the data provided; where measures are not reported, CMS often withholds them due to low case counts, which does not indicate poor quality.
Taken together, CMS rates this facility as performing at the national average, with 0 of 5 reported measures better than the national benchmark and 0 of 5 measures worse. Patients and families are encouraged to review the most current data directly on CMS Care Compare, as figures are periodically updated.
