About this facility
Lafayette Regional Rehabilitation Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Lafayette, Indiana, serving Tippecanoe County. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than remaining in long-term care. The facility has been Medicare-certified since April 18, 2013 and operates under for-profit ownership.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'No Different than the National Rate.' Its potentially-preventable readmission rates — both after discharge and during the rehab stay — are also 'No Different than the National Rate.' On healthcare-associated infections, its rate of C. diff infection is reported as 'Better than the National Benchmark.' A separate infection measure, catheter-associated urinary tract infection, is not reported by CMS, which often occurs when there are too few cases to calculate a reliable rate; this does not indicate poor quality.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 1 of 5 reported measures, with no measures rated worse than the national benchmark. Families considering rehabilitation here can use these comparisons alongside a conversation with the facility about specific care needs. Source: CMS Care Compare.
