About this facility
Mecosta County Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Big Rapids, Mecosta County, Michigan, operating as a non-profit facility certified by Medicare since July 1, 1995.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain strength, mobility, and independence after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers longer-term or lower-intensity custodial care rather than intensive daily rehabilitation.
According to CMS Care Compare, several standard quality measures for this facility — including the rate at which patients are discharged to the community, potentially-preventable readmission rates during and after the rehab stay, and healthcare-associated infection rates for catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff — are not reported for this facility. CMS often withholds publishing a measure when there are too few qualifying cases to calculate a reliable rate; this is not an indication of poor quality.
Based on the measures CMS has published, this facility is rated better than the national benchmark on 0 of the reported measures and worse than the national benchmark on 0 of the reported measures. Prospective patients and families are encouraged to review the facility's current profile directly on CMS Care Compare and to contact the facility for specific information about services, admission, and expected length of stay.
