An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often several hours a day of physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than a longer, lower-intensity stay typical of a nursing home. Centerpoint Medical Center is operated as a for-profit facility.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Centerpoint Medical Center discharges patients to the community — meaning they return home rather than to another facility — at a rate that is better than the national rate.
