Overall, of the five measures CMS typically reports for inpatient rehabilitation facilities, this facility is rated better than the national benchmark on 0 measures and worse than the national benchmark on 1 measure, with the remaining reported measures showing no difference from the national rate. Where a measure is not reported, CMS has not published it, often due to low case counts, which does not necessarily indicate poor quality. Source: CMS Care Compare.
