About this facility
Blessing Hospital in Quincy, Adams County, Illinois, is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), certified since October 1, 1985. It is operated as a non-profit facility. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically 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 staying in a long-term care setting.
According to CMS Care Compare, Blessing Hospital's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'no different than the national rate.' Its rates of potentially-preventable hospital readmissions — both during the rehab stay and after discharge — are also 'no different than the national rate.' Its C. diff healthcare-associated infection rate is 'no different than the national benchmark.' A catheter-associated infection measure was not specifically detailed in the data provided.
Taken together, CMS rates Blessing Hospital as performing in line with national benchmarks: 0 of the reported measures are flagged as better than the national rate, and 0 are flagged as worse. This indicates a facility performing comparably to the national average on the measures CMS has published, rather than standing out in either direction.
Families considering rehab after a hospitalization can use this profile as a starting point, but should verify current details directly with the facility and on Medicare Care Compare, as CMS updates these figures periodically.
