About this facility
Unity Health Specialty Care Campus is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Searcy, White County, Arkansas. It has been Medicare-certified since October 1, 1995, and operates as a non-profit organization. An IRF 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. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers a lower, longer-term level of care rather than intensive rehabilitation.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Unity Health Specialty Care Campus is rated worse than the national rate on how often patients are discharged to the community, meaning patients here return home after their rehab stay less often than the national average. On potentially-preventable readmissions — both during the stay and after discharge — the facility performs no different than the national rate. For healthcare-associated infections, the facility's C. diff infection rate is no different than the national benchmark; a catheter-associated infection measure was not reported by CMS, which often occurs due to low case counts and should not be read as an indicator of poor quality.
Overall, of the five measures CMS typically reports for inpatient rehabilitation facilities, Unity Health Specialty Care Campus is rated worse than the national benchmark on 1 measure and better than the national benchmark on 0 measures, with the remaining measures showing no significant difference or not reported. This summary is based on CMS Care Compare data.
