About this facility
Mercy Hospital Fairfield is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Fairfield, Butler County, Ohio, certified since January 1, 2010, and operated as a non-profit organization.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often 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. This differs from a skilled nursing facility, which typically offers a lower intensity of therapy over a longer stay.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Mercy Hospital Fairfield'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. Its rate of C. diff healthcare-associated infections is no different than the national benchmark. Catheter-associated infection data was not included in the figures provided, so no comparison can be made for that measure; this does not imply poor quality and may simply reflect that CMS has not published it, often due to low case counts.
Overall, CMS rates this facility as performing no better and no worse than the national benchmark on the measures reported here — 0 of 5 measures better than national, and 0 of 5 worse. Families are encouraged to review the full, current record on CMS Care Compare, as this profile reflects a specific data vintage.
