About this facility
S. Marys Regional Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Russellville, Pope County, Arkansas. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically 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 generally offers a lower intensity of daily therapy over a longer stay.
According to CMS Care Compare data, this facility is a for-profit organization that has been Medicare-certified since August 26, 1992.
On CMS's plain-language national comparisons: the rate at which patients are discharged to the community (return home) is worse than the national rate. The readmission rate measured during the rehab stay is no different than the national rate, and the readmission rate measured after discharge is also no different than the national rate. The rate of C. diff healthcare-associated infection is no different than the national benchmark. A separate catheter-associated infection measure was not addressed in the data provided.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on 1 of 5 reported measures, with the remaining measures showing no difference from national rates. Where a measure is not reported, CMS has not published it, often due to low case counts, which does not by itself indicate poor quality. This summary reflects CMS Care Compare data; families should verify current details directly with the facility or on the Care Compare website.
