About this facility
Hannibal Regional Healthcare System is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Hannibal, MO, within Marion County. Unlike a standard nursing home, an IRF provides intensive, physician-supervised therapy — often several hours a day — designed to help patients regain strength, mobility, and independence after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than long-term custodial care. The facility is operated on a non-profit basis and has been Medicare-certified since October 1, 2015.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Hannibal Regional Healthcare System's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its readmission measures — both readmissions after discharge and during the rehab stay — are reported as no different than the national rate, meaning patients return to the hospital at a rate similar to facilities nationwide. For healthcare-associated infections, the C. diff infection measure is no different than the national benchmark; a catheter-associated infection rate was not reported by CMS, which often happens when case counts are too low to calculate a reliable rate, and does not by itself indicate a quality concern.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures, with 1 measure (community discharge) showing worse-than-average results and the remaining reported measures showing no difference from national rates. This summary reflects CMS Care Compare data; families are encouraged to review the source directly for the most current figures.
