This facility is a for-profit organization and has been Medicare-certified since January 16, 2015.
According to CMS Care Compare data, this facility's rate of discharging patients to the community (returning home) is no different than the national rate. Its rates of potentially-preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, are also no different than the national rate. Reported healthcare-associated infection data (C. diff) shows this facility performing no different than the national benchmark.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of the reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on 0 of the reported measures — meaning its performance is generally in line with national averages across the measures reported. Where a measure is not reported, CMS has not published it, which is often related to low patient case counts rather than any indication of poor quality.
