About this facility
Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama (Jefferson County) is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), certified since June 15, 1998. It is a for-profit facility. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy—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 lower-intensity, longer-term custodial care.
According to CMS Care Compare, Grandview Medical Center's rate of discharging patients to the community (returning home) 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. For healthcare-associated infections, the reported measure for C. diff (Clostridioides difficile) infections shows no different than the national benchmark.
Overall, out of the five measures CMS reports for this facility, none are better than the national benchmark and none are worse—all reported measures fall in the 'no different' category. Where a measure is not reported, this reflects CMS's data policies, often due to low patient case counts at the facility, and should not be read as an indicator of poor quality.
This summary is based on CMS Care Compare data. Patients and families should verify current details directly with the facility or on the Care Compare website before making decisions.
