Inpatient rehabilitation facilities like this one provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain strength and function after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or a serious injury, with the goal of returning home safely. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a lower intensity of daily therapy over a longer stay.
According to CMS Care Compare data, this facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'No Different than the National Rate.' Its rates of potentially preventable readmissions, both during the stay and after discharge, are also reported as 'No Different than the National Rate.' Its healthcare-associated C. diff infection rate is 'No Different than the National Benchmark.' A separate catheter-associated infection measure was not reported for this facility, which CMS notes can occur due to low case counts rather than any indication of quality concerns.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures — meaning its reported performance is generally in line with national averages. Families are encouraged to review the full, current record on CMS Care Compare.
