About this facility
Piedmont Macon Rehabilitation Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Macon, Bibb County, Georgia. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level rehabilitation therapy — typically several hours a day of physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers a slower pace of custodial or lower-intensity rehabilitative care.
The facility is organized as a non-profit and has been Medicare-certified since April 1, 1994.
According to CMS Care Compare data, the facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'No Different than the National Rate.' Its readmission measures — both readmission during the rehab stay and readmission after discharge — are also 'No Different than the National Rate.' The facility's reported healthcare-associated infection measure, C. diff infection rate, is 'No Different than the National Benchmark.' No catheter-associated infection data was reported, which CMS notes can occur when case counts are too low to reliably report — this does not indicate poor quality.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of the reported measures, and worse than the benchmark on 0 of the reported measures — meaning its reported outcomes are generally in line with national averages. Families are encouraged to review the most current data directly on CMS Care Compare.
