About this facility
Loma Linda University Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Loma Linda, San Bernardino County, California. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after events like a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers lower-intensity, longer-term custodial care rather than intensive short-term rehabilitation.
This facility has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 2005, and is operated under non-profit ownership.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Loma Linda University Medical Center performs better than the national rate on discharge to community, meaning patients here return home after their stay more often than the national average. On potentially-preventable readmission measures — both during the rehab stay and after discharge — CMS reports the facility performs no different than the national rate. On healthcare-associated infections, the facility is rated no different than the national benchmark for catheter-associated infections, but better than the national benchmark for C. diff infections.
Taken together, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 2 of the 5 reported measures, with the remaining measures showing no difference from national rates and none rated worse. No measures were reported as missing in this data set. This summary reflects CMS Care Compare data; families should verify current details directly with the facility or on Care Compare before making a decision.
