About this facility
St Anthony's Rehabilitation Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Lauderdale Lakes, Broward County, Florida. Unlike a standard nursing home, an IRF provides intensive, physician-supervised therapy — often several hours a day — designed to help patients regain physical function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than staying long-term in a care setting.
This facility has been Medicare-certified since November 2, 1984, and operates as a non-profit organization.
According to CMS Care Compare data, St Anthony's Rehabilitation Hospital is rated worse than the national rate on the measure of discharging patients back to the community. On potentially-preventable readmission measures — both during the rehab stay and after discharge — the facility performs no different than the national rate. On healthcare-associated C. diff infections, the facility performs no different than the national benchmark.
Overall, of the five measures CMS reports nationally, this facility is rated better than the national benchmark on 0 measures and worse than the national benchmark on 1 measure, with the remainder showing no difference from national rates. Any measure not mentioned here has not been published by CMS for this facility, which is often the result of low case counts rather than an indicator of poor quality.
Families considering this facility should review the full measure set and any additional context directly through CMS Care Compare, which is the source of this data.
