About this facility
Laredo Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Laredo, Webb County, Texas. It is operated under for-profit ownership and has been Medicare-certified since October 1, 2024.
Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers a lower intensity of daily therapy and a longer-term or custodial care setting. The goal of an IRF stay is to help a patient recover enough independence to return to the community.
CMS Care Compare tracks facility performance against national benchmarks on measures such as how often patients are discharged back to the community, rates of potentially-preventable hospital readmissions, and rates of healthcare-associated infections such as catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. difficile. For Laredo Medical Center, none of these measures currently show a rating of better or worse than the national benchmark — CMS reports 0 measures better than the national benchmark and 0 measures worse. This may reflect that CMS has not yet published detailed comparative results for this facility, which can occur when a facility is newly certified or when case counts are too low for reliable reporting, rather than indicating any quality concern.
Families are encouraged to consult CMS Care Compare directly for the most current data and to contact the facility for specific questions about services, admission, and treatment.
