About this facility
Jefferson Regional Specialty Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in White Hall, Jefferson County, Arkansas. It is a for-profit facility, certified for Medicare participation on 06/26/2024.
Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — for patients recovering from a stroke, surgery, or serious injury. Unlike a nursing home, an IRF requires patients to be able to tolerate several hours of therapy per day, with the goal of regaining enough function to return home safely.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility's rate of healthcare-associated C. diff infection is 'No Different than the National Benchmark.' CMS has not published data for this facility on discharge to community, potentially-preventable readmission rates (during the stay or after discharge), or catheter-associated urinary tract infections — this often occurs when a facility has too few qualifying cases in the reporting period to generate a reliable statistic, and it should not be read as an indicator of poor quality.
Based on the measures CMS has reported, Jefferson Regional Specialty Hospital is rated better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 measures and worse than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 measures. Families considering this facility for post-hospital rehabilitation may wish to contact the facility directly and review the most current data on Medicare Care Compare before making a decision.
