About this facility
St. Joseph Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Houston, Harris County, Texas. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often physical, occupational, and speech therapy — for patients recovering from a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of helping them regain function and return home rather than remain in long-term custodial care. The facility has been Medicare-certified since June 30, 1996, and is physician-owned.
According to CMS Care Compare, several standard quality measures for this facility — including the rate at which patients are discharged to the community, potentially-preventable readmission rates during and after the rehab stay, and healthcare-associated infection rates (catheter-associated urinary tract infection and C. diff) — are not published in the data provided. CMS does not always publish every measure for every facility; this is often due to low patient case counts rather than any indication of poor quality.
Based on the available data, CMS does not report this facility as better than or worse than the national benchmark on any of the five standard measures (0 better, 0 worse), meaning no comparative rating could be confirmed from this dataset.
Families considering rehabilitation here are encouraged to consult CMS Care Compare directly for the most current measures and to contact the facility for details on services, admissions, and expected therapy intensity.
