About this facility
Franciscan Health Lafayette IRF is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Lafayette, Indiana (Tippecanoe County), operated on a non-profit basis and certified by Medicare since January 1, 1995.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — for patients recovering from a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of regaining function and returning home. This differs from a skilled nursing facility, which generally offers a lower intensity of therapy.
According to CMS Care Compare data, this facility'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 catheter-associated infection is not reported, often because case counts were too low for CMS to publish reliable figures — this does not indicate poor quality. Its C. diff infection rate is no different than the national benchmark.
Overall, among the five measures CMS reports for this facility, 0 are better than the national benchmark, 1 is worse (the discharge-to-community measure), and the remaining reported measures are no different than the national rate. Families should review the full, current record directly on CMS Care Compare, since measures are updated periodically.
