About this facility
Laguna Honda Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in San Francisco, California, operated under government ownership. IRFs like Laguna Honda provide intensive, hospital-level rehabilitation therapy — including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — for patients recovering from a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of helping them regain function and return home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a slower pace of custodial or long-term care rather than intensive daily therapy aimed at discharge.
Laguna Honda Hospital has been Medicare-certified since March 28, 1995. According to CMS Care Compare, the source of this profile's data, several of CMS's standard quality measures for this facility — including the rate of patients discharged to the community, potentially-preventable readmission rates, and healthcare-associated infection rates — are not currently published. CMS often withholds a measure when there are too few qualifying cases at a facility to report a reliable rate; this is not an indication of poor quality.
Based on the measures CMS has published, the facility is not rated as better than the national benchmark on any measures, and is also not rated as worse than the national benchmark on any measures (0 of 5 reported measures better, 0 of 5 worse). Families considering rehabilitation at Laguna Honda Hospital are encouraged to review the most current details directly on Medicare Care Compare and to contact the facility for additional information about services and admission.
