About this facility
Aurora Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Summit, Waukesha County, Wisconsin. It has been Medicare-certified since May 3, 2010, and operates as a non-profit facility. An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or a serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than transitioning to long-term custodial care.
Based on data published by CMS Care Compare, Aurora Medical Center's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'no different than the national rate.' Its rates of potentially preventable readmissions — both during the rehabilitation stay and after discharge — are also reported as 'no different than the national rate.'
CMS did not report healthcare-associated infection measures (catheter-associated urinary tract infection and C. difficile) for this facility, which often occurs when there are too few qualifying cases to calculate a reliable rate; this should not be interpreted as an indicator of poor quality.
Overall, of the five measures CMS reports nationally, none were flagged as better than the national benchmark and none as worse — the facility performed in line with national rates on the measures that were reported. Families are encouraged to review the most current details directly on CMS Care Compare.
