CMS has not reported discharge-to-community or readmission rates for King's Daughter Medical Center, so specific figures on how often patients return home are not currently available.

About this facility
King's Daughter Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky. It has been Medicare-certified since October 1, 1986, and operates as a non-profit facility.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often several hours a day of physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy under close medical supervision — to help patients regain function after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than remaining in a long-term care setting.
According to CMS Care Compare, the source of this data, specific measures such as the rate of patients discharged to the community, potentially-preventable readmission rates (during the stay and after discharge), and healthcare-associated infection rates (including catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff infections) are not currently published for this facility. CMS often withholds publishing a measure when there are too few qualifying cases to report reliably; this is not an indication of poor quality.
Based on the measures CMS has reported, this facility is not shown as better than the national benchmark on any measures, and not shown as worse than the national benchmark on any measures — reflecting that no comparative measures are currently published for this facility on Care Compare. Families are encouraged to check Medicare Care Compare directly for the most current figures and to contact the facility for further details.
