About this facility
Kindred Hospital Philadelphia is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Lawncrest, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. It has been Medicare-certified since September 1, 2021, and operates under for-profit ownership. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level therapy—typically including physical, occupational, and speech therapy—to help patients regain function after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers a lower intensity of daily therapy and a slower-paced recovery setting.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Kindred Hospital Philadelphia's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, is no different than the national rate. Its healthcare-associated C. diff infection rate is also no different than the national benchmark. Catheter-associated infection data is not separately detailed in the available information.
Overall, of the five measures CMS reports for this facility, none are better than the national benchmark and one—discharge to community—is worse than the national benchmark. The remaining reported measures show no significant difference from national rates. Where a measure is not reported, CMS has not published it, often due to low case counts, and this does not imply poor quality.
This summary reflects CMS Care Compare data current as of the facility's latest reporting period. Families are encouraged to verify current details directly on Medicare Care Compare.
