About this facility
Baptist Health Rehabilitation Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Louisville, Kentucky (Jefferson County). It is a for-profit facility, certified for Medicare participation as of July 10, 2024.
An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain strength and independence after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than moving to a longer-term care setting.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility's rate of healthcare-associated C. diff infections is no different than the national benchmark. CMS has not published data for this facility on discharge to community, potentially-preventable readmissions during or after the stay, or catheter-associated infections; these measures are often not reported when a facility has too few qualifying cases to report reliably, which does not imply poor quality.
Overall, of the five measures CMS typically reports for inpatient rehabilitation facilities, this facility has 0 measures rated better than the national benchmark and 0 rated worse, with most measures currently not reported. Families considering this facility for post-stroke, post-surgical, or post-injury rehabilitation may wish to contact the facility directly for details on services and admission, and consult Medicare Care Compare for the most current quality data.
