About this facility
Methodist Rehabilitation Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska. It has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 1991, and operates as a non-profit facility. An IRF provides 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 safely home rather than requiring longer-term custodial care.
According to CMS Care Compare data, this facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, is no different than the national rate. Its Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infection rate is also no different than the national benchmark. CMS does not report a catheter-associated urinary tract infection rate for this facility, which is common when case counts are too low to calculate a reliable figure and should not be read as an indicator of poor quality.
Overall, of the measures CMS reports for this facility, none are rated better than the national benchmark, and one—discharge to community—is rated worse. The remaining reported measures show no difference from national rates. Individuals and families considering rehabilitation here are encouraged to review the most current details directly on CMS Care Compare, as this summary reflects a specific data vintage and may not reflect the latest updates.
