About this facility
Largo Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Largo, Pinellas County, Florida. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers a slower pace of custodial or skilled care rather than intensive daily therapy.
The facility is operated as a for-profit entity and has been Medicare-certified since March 1, 2023.
According to CMS Care Compare, Largo Medical Center's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its rates of potentially preventable readmissions — both during the rehab stay and after discharge — are no different than the national rate. Healthcare-associated infection measures, including catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff infections, are also no different than the national benchmark.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on 1 of 5 reported measures, with the remaining measures showing no meaningful difference from national rates.
