About this facility

This facility has been Medicare-certified since November 3, 2010, and operates as a for-profit organization.
According to CMS Care Compare, Mesquite Rehabilitation Institute'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 stay and after discharge, is also 'no different than the national rate.' On healthcare-associated infections, the facility's Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infection rate is 'better than the national benchmark.' A catheter-associated urinary tract infection measure was not reported by CMS for this facility, which often reflects a low number of qualifying cases rather than a quality concern.
