About this facility
Lake Hospital System is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Concord, Lake County, Ohio. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, physician-supervised therapy — often several hours a day — to help patients regain strength, mobility, and daily-living skills after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a lower, less intensive level of care over a longer period.
Lake Hospital System has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 2004, and operates as a non-profit facility.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'no different than the national rate.' Its rate of potentially-preventable readmissions during the rehabilitation stay, and its rate of readmissions after discharge, are both also reported as 'no different than the national rate.' Data on healthcare-associated infections, including catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. difficile infections, was not provided in the available CMS data for this facility, which may reflect low case counts rather than a quality concern.
Overall, CMS Care Compare data shows Lake Hospital System performing on par with national benchmarks: it is not rated better than the national rate on any of the reported measures, but it is also not rated worse on any. Families considering this facility for post-stroke, post-surgical, or post-injury rehabilitation can review these comparisons alongside a direct conversation with the facility about specific care needs.
