About this facility
Mercy Hospital Ardmore is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Ardmore, Carter County, Oklahoma. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy—often several hours a day of physical, occupational, and speech therapy—to help patients regain function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a slower pace of rehabilitation or long-term custodial care rather than intensive daily therapy.
Mercy Hospital Ardmore is a non-profit facility that has been Medicare-certified since February 19, 2014. According to CMS Care Compare data, the facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its readmission rates—both during the rehab stay and after discharge—are reported as no different than the national rate. Its rate of C. diff healthcare-associated infection is no different than the national benchmark. Catheter-associated infection data was not specified in the reviewed data.
Overall, of the five measures CMS reports for this facility, none were rated better than the national benchmark, and one measure—discharge to community—was rated worse than the national rate. The remaining reported measures were rated as no different than the national rate. Where a measure is not reported, CMS has not published data for it, often due to low case counts, which does not imply poor quality. Individuals considering rehabilitation care should review the most current information directly on Medicare Care Compare.
