About this facility
St. Mary'S Hospital At Amsterdam is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Amsterdam, New York, in Montgomery County. Unlike a nursing home, an IRF provides intensive, short-term therapy — typically including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — aimed at helping patients regain function and independence after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This facility has been Medicare-certified since 07/01/2009 and operates under non-profit ownership.
According to CMS Care Compare, the facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its readmission rates — both the measure looking at readmissions following discharge and the measure looking at readmissions during the rehab stay — are no different than the national rate. CMS has not published data on healthcare-associated infection rates (catheter-associated urinary tract infection and C. diff) for this facility, which often occurs when there are too few cases to report reliably; this should not be read as an indicator of poor quality.
Overall, among the measures CMS reports for this facility, it is rated better than the national benchmark on 0 measures and worse than the national benchmark on 1 measure, with the remaining reported measures showing no difference from national rates.
