About this facility
Franciscan Health Indianapolis is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — often physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain strength and independence after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers slower-paced, longer-term custodial care rather than intensive daily rehabilitation.
The facility has been Medicare-certified since 01/01/2012 and is operated as a non-profit organization.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Franciscan Health Indianapolis's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, is no different than the national rate. Its rate of C. diff healthcare-associated infections is no different than the national benchmark. Data on catheter-associated infections is not reported by CMS for this facility, which is often due to low case counts rather than an indicator of quality.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the benchmark on 1 of 5 reported measures, with the remaining measures showing no difference from the national rate. Families considering this facility should review these details on CMS Care Compare, current as of the latest published data vintage, and speak with the facility directly for further specifics.
