About this facility
Lourdes Rehabilitation Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Paducah, Kentucky, in McCracken County. It has been Medicare-certified since October 1, 1985 and operates as a non-profit facility.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy for patients recovering from events such as a stroke, major surgery, or a serious injury. Unlike a nursing home, an IRF offers coordinated medical care alongside multiple hours of daily physical, occupational, and speech therapy, with the goal of helping patients regain enough function to return home.
According to CMS Care Compare's plain-language national comparisons, Lourdes Rehabilitation Center's rate of discharging patients to the community is 'no different than the national rate.' Its readmission rates, both for potentially preventable readmissions during the stay and after discharge, are also 'no different than the national rate.' Its healthcare-associated C. diff infection rate is 'no different than the national benchmark.' CMS does not report a catheter-associated urinary tract infection measure for this facility, likely due to low case counts, which does not indicate poor quality.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the benchmark on 0 of 5. Every reported measure falls in line with national performance. This summary reflects CMS Care Compare data; families should verify current figures directly on Care Compare before making decisions.
