About this facility
Jamaica Hospital Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Jamaica, Queens, New York. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function and independence after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than remaining in a long-term care setting. This distinguishes IRFs from skilled nursing facilities, which generally offer a lower intensity of daily therapy.
This facility has been Medicare-certified since January 2, 2019, and is operated as a non-profit organization.
According to CMS Care Compare, Jamaica Hospital Medical Center's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Its readmission rates — both during the rehab stay and after discharge — are also no different than the national rate. Its healthcare-associated infection rate for C. diff is no different than the national benchmark. CMS did not provide a comparison figure for catheter-associated infections in the data reviewed here.
Overall, CMS rates this facility as performing no differently than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures better and 0 of 5 worse — meaning its reported results are statistically in line with national averages across the board. This is a stable, typical performance profile rather than an outlier in either direction.
