An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy—often three or more hours a day of physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy—for patients recovering from a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of regaining enough function to return home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a lower intensity of therapy over a longer period.
According to CMS Care Compare, Kettering Medical Center's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'No Different than the National Rate.' Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, is also 'No Different than the National Rate.' CMS has not published healthcare-associated infection data (catheter-associated urinary tract infection and C. diff) for this facility, which often occurs when case counts are too low to report reliably; this should not be interpreted as a sign of poor quality.
Overall, of the measures CMS has reported, none were rated better than the national benchmark and none were rated worse—all reported measures were statistically similar to national performance. Families considering rehabilitation after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury may wish to verify current details and any additional measures directly on Medicare Care Compare.
