About this facility
Lourdes Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Pasco, Franklin County, Washington. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain strength and independence after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally provides longer-term or lower-intensity custodial care rather than intensive daily rehabilitation.
Lourdes Medical Center is a non-profit facility that has been Medicare-certified since February 1, 2005.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Its rates of potentially-preventable readmissions, both during the rehabilitation stay and after discharge, are also no different than the national rate. CMS did not report separate figures for catheter-associated or C. difficile infection rates for this facility in the available data.
Overall, CMS rates this facility as performing no better and no worse than the national benchmark on the reported measures — 0 of 5 measures better than the national rate, and 0 of 5 worse. This indicates a profile consistent with national averages rather than an outlier in either direction. Where measures are not reported, this is often due to low patient case counts rather than an indicator of quality. Data source: CMS Care Compare.
