An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than requiring long-term custodial care like a nursing home.

Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions during the rehab stay, and after discharge, are both no different than the national rate. Healthcare-associated infection measures (catheter-associated infections and C. diff) are not reported for this facility, which CMS notes often happens due to low case counts and should not be interpreted as an indicator of poor quality.
