An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically several hours of physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy a day — to help patients regain strength and independence after events like a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally provides longer-term, lower-intensity custodial or skilled care.
According to CMS Care Compare, Baptist Hospital Desoto's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'No Different than the National Rate.' Its readmission measures — both readmission during the rehab stay and readmission after discharge — are also 'No Different than the National Rate.' Its healthcare-associated infection measure for C. diff 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 on 0 of 5 — meaning its reported results fall in line with national averages across the board. Where a measure is not listed here, CMS may not have published it, often due to low patient case counts, which does not indicate poor quality.
