Its readmission rates — both during the rehab stay and after discharge — are also reported as no different than the national rate. CMS has not published data on healthcare-associated infections (catheter-associated urinary tract infection and C. difficile) for this facility, which is often the case when case counts are too low to report reliably; this should not be read as an indication of poor quality.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of the 5 measures it reports, and worse than the national benchmark on 0 of those measures — meaning its reported performance lines up with national averages across the board. Individuals considering rehabilitation care should verify current details directly with the facility and on Medicare Care Compare.
