About this facility
Anderson Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — often several hours a day of physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than moving to long-term care. Anderson Medical Center is a for-profit facility that has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 2000.
According to CMS Care Compare, Anderson Medical Center's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions during the rehab stay, and its readmission rate after discharge, are both reported as no different than the national rate. Healthcare-associated infection measures, such as catheter-associated infections and C. diff infections, are not published for this facility in the available data; when a measure is not reported, it is often because there were too few qualifying cases to calculate a reliable rate, and this should not be read as an indicator of poor quality.
Overall, based on the measures CMS has published, Anderson Medical Center is rated better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures and worse than the national benchmark on 1 of 5 reported measures, with the remaining reported measures showing no difference from the national rate. This summary reflects CMS Care Compare data; patients and families are encouraged to review the most current figures directly on Care Compare before making a decision.
