About this facility
Orange Regional Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Middletown, New York, in Orange County. It has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 1992, and operates as a non-profit facility. IRFs like this one provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — often several hours a day of physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative services — to help patients regain function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than moving to long-term custodial care.
According to CMS Care Compare, Orange Regional Medical Center's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its rate of unplanned readmissions during the rehab stay, and its readmission rate after discharge, are both no different than the national rate.

Of the five measures CMS reports for this facility, none are better than the national benchmark, and one — discharge to community — is worse. The remaining reported measures show performance in line with national expectations. Where a measure is not listed here, CMS may not have published it, often because too few cases were available to report reliably; this does not necessarily indicate poor quality.
