About this facility
Firsthealth Moore Regional Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Pinehurst, Moore County, North Carolina. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level rehabilitation therapy—typically several hours a day, multiple days a week—for patients recovering from a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of regaining function and returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally provides lower-intensity, longer-term custodial or skilled care rather than intensive daily rehabilitation.
The facility is operated under non-profit ownership and has been Medicare-certified since October 1, 2019.
According to CMS Care Compare's plain-language comparisons, this facility discharges patients to the community—meaning patients return home rather than to another care setting—at a rate that is better than the national rate. Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions, both after discharge and during the rehab stay, is no different than the national rate. Its rate of C. diff healthcare-associated infections is also no different than the national benchmark. A catheter-associated infection measure was not included in the data provided; when a measure is not reported, CMS often withholds it due to low case counts, which does not indicate poor quality.
Taken together, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 1 of the measures reported, with 0 measures rated worse than the national benchmark, and the remaining reported measures showing no difference from national rates.
