About this facility
Jacobi Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Bronx, New York, operated under government ownership and certified by Medicare since January 1, 1985. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a slower pace of care over a longer stay.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Jacobi Medical Center's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its potentially-preventable readmission rates — both during the rehab stay and after discharge — are no different than the national rate. Its rate of C. diff healthcare-associated infection is also no different than the national benchmark. CMS did not publish data on catheter-associated infection rates for this facility, which often occurs because of low case counts rather than any indication of quality concerns.
Taken together, of the measures CMS reports for this facility, none were rated better than the national benchmark, and one — discharge to community — was rated worse. The remaining reported measures were no different than the national rate. Families considering rehabilitation after a hospital stay can review these plain-language comparisons alongside other factors when weighing options. This summary reflects data published by CMS Care Compare; individuals should verify current details directly on the Care Compare website before making decisions.
