About this facility
Metropolitan Hospital Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in New York City, New York, in New York County. It has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 1985, and is operated under government ownership.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — for patients recovering from events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of helping them regain function and return 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 data, Metropolitan Hospital Center's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its readmission rates — both during the rehabilitation stay and after discharge — are no different than the national rate. Its rate of C. diff healthcare-associated infection is no different than the national benchmark. A catheter-associated infection measure was not specifically reported in this data.
Taken together, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on 1 of 5 reported measures, with the remaining measures showing no difference from the national rate. Where a measure is not reported, this reflects CMS's publication practices, often due to low case counts, and should not be read as an indication of poor quality. This summary is based on CMS Care Compare data.
