About this facility
Good Samaritan Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Vincennes, Indiana, certified since January 1, 2001. It is a non-profit facility located in Knox County. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level 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. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers a lower intensity of daily therapy and longer-term custodial care.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Good Samaritan Hospital's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its rates of potentially-preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, are no different than the national rate. For healthcare-associated infections, its rate of C. diff infection is better than the national benchmark; a catheter-associated urinary tract infection measure was not reported by CMS for this facility, which often reflects low case counts rather than a quality concern.
Overall, among the five measures CMS reports for this facility, one measure performs better than the national benchmark and one performs worse than the national rate, with the remaining measures showing no difference from national rates. Families considering rehabilitation after a serious health event may wish to review these details alongside other factors relevant to their care needs. Source: CMS Care Compare.
