About this facility
Northern Idaho Advanced Care Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Post Falls, Idaho, in Kootenai County. It is a for-profit facility, certified by Medicare as of October 1, 2025.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning safely to community living. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers a slower pace of custodial or lower-intensity rehabilitative care.
According to CMS Care Compare, the source of this profile, several of the standard quality measures for this facility — including the rate of patients discharged to the community, potentially-preventable readmission rates, and healthcare-associated infection rates (such as catheter-associated infections and C. diff) — are currently listed as not reported. CMS often withholds publishing a measure when a facility has a low number of qualifying cases, which does not indicate poor quality; it simply means there is not enough data yet to calculate a reliable rate.
Based on the measures currently reported, CMS does not show this facility as performing better than or worse than the national benchmark on any of the five standard measures, since 0 measures are marked better and 0 are marked worse at this time.
Families considering this facility are encouraged to check Medicare Care Compare directly for the most current data, as measures can be updated as more cases accumulate.
