About this facility
Mercy Hospital Rehabilitation Unit is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than remaining in long-term custodial care as in a nursing home. This facility is operated under non-profit ownership and has been Medicare-certified since July 1, 1984.
According to CMS Care Compare, the source of this profile, this facility does not currently have published rates for the plain-language national comparison measures, including how often patients are discharged to the community, potentially-preventable readmission rates, or healthcare-associated infection rates (catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. difficile infections). CMS often withholds publishing these measures when a facility has too few qualifying cases to report a statistically reliable rate; this is not an indication of poor quality.
Based on the measures CMS has published for this facility, the overall comparison stands at 0 measures rated better than the national benchmark and 0 measures rated worse than the national benchmark, out of the 5 measures CMS typically reports for inpatient rehabilitation facilities.
