About this facility
Dixie Regional Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in St George, Washington County, Utah, operated as a non-profit and certified by Medicare since January 1, 2017.
An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than remaining in a long-term care setting. This differs from a skilled nursing facility, which generally offers a lower intensity of daily therapy.
According to CMS Care Compare, Dixie Regional Medical Center's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions, measured both after discharge and during the rehab stay, is also no different than the national rate. Its healthcare-associated infection rate for C. diff is no different than the national benchmark. CMS did not report a separate catheter-associated infection comparison for this facility in the available data.
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 that on every measure reported, its performance falls in line with national averages. Where a measure is not reported, this often reflects a low number of qualifying cases rather than a quality concern. This summary is based on CMS Care Compare data.
