About this facility
Sumner Regional Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Gallatin, Sumner County, Tennessee, and has been Medicare-certified since June 1, 1994. It operates as a for-profit facility. An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides 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 rather than remaining in long-term care, as is more common with a nursing home.
According to CMS Care Compare, Sumner Regional Medical Center's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its readmission rates, both for measures tracked after discharge and during the rehabilitation stay, are no different than the national rate. Healthcare-associated infection measures, such as catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. difficile infections, are not reported for this facility by CMS, which often reflects low case counts rather than a quality concern.
Overall, based on the measures CMS has published, Sumner Regional Medical Center is rated better than the national benchmark on 0 of the 5 reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on 1 measure, with the remaining reported measures showing no difference from the national rate. Families considering rehabilitation after a serious health event may wish to discuss these measures directly with the facility and review the most current data on Medicare Care Compare before making a decision. This summary reflects data published by CMS Care Compare.
