About this facility
Northridge Hospital Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Northridge, California, part of Los Angeles County.

An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy—often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy—to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a slower pace of custodial or lower-intensity rehabilitative care.
According to CMS Care Compare, Northridge Hospital Medical Center's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Its readmission rates—both during the rehab stay and after discharge—are also no different than the national rate. Its healthcare-associated infection rates, covering catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff infections, are likewise no different than the national benchmark.
Across the five measures CMS reports for this facility, none were found to be better than the national benchmark, and none were found to be worse—all five measures were rated as no different than the national rate or benchmark. This means CMS Care Compare shows a facility performing in line with national norms across the reported quality measures, rather than trending notably above or below them.
