About this facility
Providence Swedish Rehabilitation Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Lynnwood, Snohomish County, Washington. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often 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 rather than moving to a long-term care setting. This facility is operated under for-profit ownership and has been Medicare-certified since 09/19/2024.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community, and its rates of potentially-preventable hospital readmissions (both during the rehab stay and after discharge), are not currently reported by CMS. This often occurs when a facility has a low number of qualifying cases and does not necessarily reflect quality concerns.
For healthcare-associated infections, CMS reports that this facility's rate of C. diff (Clostridioides difficile) infection is 'No Different than the National Benchmark.' Data on catheter-associated urinary tract infections was not reported.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures — with several measures currently not published. Families are encouraged to consult CMS Care Compare directly for the most current data and to contact the facility for details on services, admission, and length of stay.
