About this facility
University Of Colorado Health - Memorial Health is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Colorado Springs, El Paso County, Colorado. It has been Medicare-certified since July 1, 2020, and is operated under government ownership.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers a lower intensity of 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 rate of potentially preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, is also no different than the national rate. Its healthcare-associated C. diff infection rate is no different than the national benchmark. A catheter-associated infection measure was not included in the data provided, which may reflect that it has not been published, often due to low case counts, rather than any indication of quality.
Overall, CMS does not rate this facility as better or worse than the national benchmark on any of the reported measures (0 better, 0 worse) — indicating performance broadly in line with national averages across the reported categories.
