About this facility
Pam Rehabilitation Hospital of Dover is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Dover, Kent County, Delaware. It has been Medicare-certified since March 21, 2019, and operates as a for-profit facility. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function and independence after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally provides longer-term, lower-intensity custodial or supportive care rather than an intensive short-term therapy program.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility discharges patients to the community — meaning patients return home — at a rate that CMS rates as better than the national rate. For readmissions, both the readmission-during-stay measure and the readmission-after-discharge measure are rated as no different than the national rate. CMS rates the C. diff healthcare-associated infection measure as no different than the national benchmark. A catheter-associated infection rate was not specifically reported in the data provided.
Taken together, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 1 of the reported measures, with no measures rated worse than the national rate. Where a measure is described as not reported, this reflects CMS's own reporting practices, often due to low case counts, and should not be read as an indicator of poor quality. This summary is based on CMS Care Compare data.
