About this facility
Hackley Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Muskegon, Michigan, and has been Medicare-certified since April 1, 1988. It operates as a non-profit facility in Muskegon County.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy for patients recovering from a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of helping them regain enough function to return home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a lower level of ongoing care rather than intensive daily rehabilitation therapy.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Hackley Hospital's rate of discharging patients back to the community is better than the national rate, meaning patients here return home after rehab more often than the national average. Its readmission rates — both during the rehab stay and following discharge — are no different than the national rate. For healthcare-associated infections, its C. diff infection rate is better than the national benchmark; the catheter-associated urinary tract infection measure was not specifically reported here, which CMS notes can occur due to low case counts and does not imply poor quality.
Overall, CMS rates Hackley Hospital better than the national benchmark on 2 of the reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on none.
