About this facility
Florida Hospital Tampa is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level rehabilitation therapy — typically including 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 a long-term care setting. This distinguishes an IRF from a skilled nursing facility, which generally offers a slower-paced level of therapy.
Florida Hospital Tampa is operated as a non-profit facility and was Medicare-certified as of 01/01/2025. According to CMS Care Compare data, the facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'No Different than the National Rate,' meaning patients return home at a rate consistent with national averages. Both measures of potentially preventable readmissions — during the rehab stay and after discharge — are also 'No Different than the National Rate.' The facility's healthcare-associated infection rates, covering catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. difficile infections, are each reported as 'No Different than the National Benchmark.'
Overall, CMS Care Compare data shows this facility performing in line with national benchmarks across all five reported measures, with 0 measures better than and 0 measures worse than the national rate.
