About this facility
Missouri Delta Medical Center in Sikeston, Scott County, Missouri, operates a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), certified since October 1, 2003. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically several hours of physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy daily — to help patients regain strength and independence after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers lower-intensity, longer-term custodial care rather than intensive daily rehabilitation.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Missouri Delta 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 rehabilitation stay and after discharge, is also 'no different than the national rate.' CMS did not report separate figures for catheter-associated urinary tract infection or C. diff infection rates for this facility in the data provided, which the agency notes can happen when there are too few cases to calculate a reliable rate — this should not be interpreted as a sign of poor quality.
Overall, CMS lists this facility as performing at the national benchmark on 0 of 5 measures rated better and 0 of 5 rated worse, with the remaining measures either at the national rate or not separately reported. This is a non-profit facility. Families are encouraged to consult CMS Care Compare directly for the most current data.
