About this facility
Fort Duncan Regional Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Eagle Pass, Maverick County, Texas. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — often physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a lower, longer-term level of care rather than intensive short-term rehabilitation. This facility has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 2007, and is operated under for-profit ownership.
According to CMS Care Compare, the facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, is also no different than the national rate. CMS's healthcare-associated infection measures (catheter-associated and C. difficile infections) are not reported in the available data, which CMS notes often reflects low case counts rather than a quality concern.
Overall, CMS reports that this facility performs no better and no worse than the national benchmark on the measures reported — 0 of 5 measures better than the national rate, and 0 of 5 worse. Families are encouraged to review the most current details directly on CMS Care Compare, since data is periodically updated.
