About this facility
Fairmont Hospital in San Leandro, California is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), certified since July 1, 1985 and operated under government ownership. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — 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 remaining in long-term custodial care as one might in a nursing home.
According to CMS Care Compare, Fairmont Hospital's rate of discharging patients to the community (returning home after their rehab stay) is no different than the national rate. Its potentially-preventable readmission rate, both measured after discharge and during the rehab stay, is also no different than the national rate. For healthcare-associated infections, CMS reports the facility's C. diff infection rate as no different than the national benchmark. A catheter-associated urinary tract infection rate is not listed in the available data; when a measure is not reported, it is often due to low case counts and should not be read as an indicator of poor quality.
Taken together, CMS rates Fairmont Hospital as performing at the national average on the measures it has reported: the facility shows 0 measures better than the national benchmark and 0 measures worse, with the reported measures falling in the 'no different than' range.
