About this facility
UF Health Spanish Plaines Rehab Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in The Villages, Sumter County, Florida. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than remaining in long-term custodial care. This distinguishes an IRF from a typical nursing home, which generally offers a lower intensity of daily therapy.
This facility is operated on a non-profit basis and has been Medicare-certified since 07/01/2025. According to CMS Care Compare, patients at this facility are discharged to the community — meaning they return home — at a rate CMS rates as better than the national rate. Readmission measures, both during and after the rehab stay, are reported as no different than the national rate, and the C. diff healthcare-associated infection measure is also reported as no different than the national benchmark.
Overall, based on the measures CMS has published, this facility rates better than the national benchmark on 1 of the reported measures, with 0 measures rated worse. Where a measure is not mentioned here, CMS has not published data for it, which can occur simply due to low patient case counts rather than any quality concern. This summary reflects CMS Care Compare data as most recently certified 07/01/2025; families are encouraged to review the current listing directly for the latest figures.
