About this facility
Wayne Memorial Hospital in Honesdale, Wayne County, PA, operates a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), certified since July 1, 2006. 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 rather than staying in a lower-intensity setting like a nursing home.
According to CMS Care Compare, Wayne Memorial Hospital's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Its rate of potentially-preventable readmissions after discharge, and during the rehab stay itself, are also each reported as no different than the national rate. Its rate of C. diff healthcare-associated infection is no different than the national benchmark.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures — meaning its results are, across the reported measures, statistically similar to national performance. Where a measure such as catheter-associated infection is not separately listed here, that does not indicate a quality concern; CMS sometimes withholds publication of a measure due to low patient case counts.
This profile is based on CMS Care Compare data. Ownership type is listed as non-profit. Families should consult Care Compare directly for the most current figures and additional detail.
