About this facility
Wellstar N Fulton Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Roswell, Fulton County, Georgia. It has been Medicare-certified since November 1, 1985, and operates under for-profit ownership. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically several hours of physical, occupational, and speech therapy per day, supervised by physicians — to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury before returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers lower-intensity, longer-term custodial care.
According to CMS Care Compare, Wellstar N Fulton Hospital performs better than the national rate on the measure of discharging patients back to the community, meaning patients here return home after their stay more often than the national benchmark suggests. On potentially preventable readmission measures — both during the stay and after discharge — the facility performs no different than the national rate. On healthcare-associated infection measures, including catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff infections, the facility also performs no different than the national benchmark.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 1 of 5 reported measures, with the remaining reported measures showing no difference from the national rate, and none showing worse performance.
