An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy—often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy—to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than staying in a lower-intensity setting like a nursing home.

Its potentially-preventable readmission rates, both during the rehabilitation stay and after discharge, are also reported as 'No Different than the National Rate.' CMS has not published data on healthcare-associated infection rates (catheter-associated urinary tract infections or C. diff) for this facility, which is common when case counts are too low to report reliably; this should not be read as an indication of poor quality.
Overall, among the measures CMS has published, this facility is rated as performing the same as the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures better and 0 of 5 worse—meaning its reported results are consistent with typical national performance.
