About this facility
Encino Hospital Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Encino, California, in Los Angeles County. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often three hours a day, multiple days a week — to help patients regain strength, mobility, and daily living skills after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers lower-intensity, longer-term custodial care.
The facility is a for-profit hospital that has been Medicare-certified since December 1, 1994. According to CMS Care Compare, on the measure of discharging patients back to the community, this facility performs worse than the national rate. For potentially preventable readmissions — both during the rehab stay and after discharge — CMS reports the facility performs no different than the national rate. On healthcare-associated infections, the facility performs better than the national benchmark for C. diff infections; catheter-associated urinary tract infection data was not provided, meaning CMS may not have published it, often due to low case counts, which does not imply poor quality.
Overall, of the five measures CMS typically reports for inpatient rehabilitation facilities, this facility has one measure rated better than the national benchmark and one measure rated worse, with the remaining measures reported as no different or not available in this dataset. Families considering rehabilitation at this facility should review the full, current details on CMS Care Compare, as this summary reflects a specific data vintage and figures can change.
