About this facility
Grady Memorial Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia. It is a non-profit facility, certified for Medicare participation as of 05/15/2024.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often several hours a day of physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy — to help patients regain strength and independence after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than staying in a longer-term care setting like a nursing home.
According to CMS Care Compare, the source of this profile, several of the standard national comparison measures for this facility — including the rate at which patients are discharged back to the community, potentially-preventable readmission rates during and after the rehab stay, and healthcare-associated infection rates for catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. difficile — are not currently published for Grady Memorial Hospital. CMS often does not publish a measure when a facility has too few qualifying cases in the reporting period to calculate a reliable rate; this is not an indication of poor quality.
Based on the measures CMS reports, Grady Memorial Hospital is shown as neither better than nor worse than the national benchmark on any of the five standard measures (0 better, 0 worse), reflecting that data was not available for comparison at this time. Families are encouraged to check Medicare Care Compare directly for the most current figures.
