An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — including 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 long-term care.
According to CMS Care Compare, patients at this facility are discharged to the community (return home) at a rate that is no different than the national rate. Readmission rates — both after discharge and during the rehab stay — are also reported as no different than the national rate, meaning outcomes here are comparable to typical U.S. IRFs on these measures.
On healthcare-associated infections, CMS reports this facility performs better than the national benchmark for C. diff infections. A separate measure for catheter-associated infections was not published by CMS, which often occurs when there are too few cases to report reliably rather than indicating a quality concern.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 1 of the reported measures, with no measures rated worse than the national benchmark. This summary reflects publicly reported CMS Care Compare data current as of the facility's most recent update; families are encouraged to review the source directly for the latest figures.
