Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home.

Taken together, of the measures CMS reports for this facility, none are rated better than the national benchmark, and one — the discharge-to-community rate — is rated worse than the national benchmark. The remaining reported measures show no difference from national performance. Where a measure is not reported, this often reflects a low number of qualifying cases rather than an indication of quality, and should not be interpreted negatively.
