About this facility
Mena Regional Health System is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Mena, Polk County, Arkansas. It has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 1999, and operates as a non-profit facility.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often several hours a day of physical, occupational, and speech therapy — for people recovering from a stroke, major surgery, or a serious injury. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a lower, slower level of therapy over a longer stay. The goal of an IRF is to help patients regain enough function to safely return home or to a lower level of care.
CMS's Care Compare tool reports several plain-language comparisons for IRFs against national benchmarks, including how often patients are discharged back to the community, rates of potentially preventable hospital readmissions, and rates of healthcare-associated infections such as catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff. For Mena Regional Health System, none of these measures are currently published by CMS in the available data. CMS often withholds a measure when a facility has too few qualifying cases in the reporting period to calculate a reliable rate; this is not an indication of poor quality.
Based on the data available, CMS does not currently show this facility as better than or worse than the national benchmark on any of the five commonly reported measures, because none are published. Patients and families are encouraged to consult CMS Care Compare directly for the most current data and to contact the facility with specific questions.
