About this facility
Labette County Medical Center in Parsons, Kansas, operates a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), certified since January 1, 2018. This is a government-owned facility serving Labette County and the surrounding region.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than moving to long-term custodial care. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers a lower intensity of daily therapy over a longer stay.
According to CMS Care Compare, Labette County Medical Center's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Its readmission measures — both the rate of unplanned readmissions during the rehab stay and after discharge — are also no different than the national rate. CMS reports it as not different, better, or worse than the national benchmark on the measures it publishes; here, of the measures reported, none is flagged as better and none as worse than the national rate, meaning the facility performs in line with national norms rather than standing out in either direction.
Where a measure is not reported, CMS often withholds it due to low patient case counts, which does not indicate poor quality. Families considering rehabilitation after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury can review this facility's current data directly on CMS Care Compare.
