About this facility
Pam Rehabilitation Hospital Of Fargo is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Fargo, North Dakota, in Cass County. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically multiple hours of physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy per day — to help patients regain function after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home safely. This differs from a skilled nursing facility, which generally offers a lower intensity of therapy over a longer stay.
This facility is a for-profit hospital, Medicare-certified since November 22, 2019.
According to CMS Care Compare, patients discharged to the community after a stay here occur at a rate the CMS considers 'no different than the national rate.' Readmission after discharge is 'better than the national rate,' while readmission during the rehab stay itself is 'no different than the national rate.' On healthcare-associated infections, the facility's C. diff infection rate is 'better than the national benchmark'; a catheter-associated infection rate was not separately reported in this data, which CMS notes can occur due to low case counts and should not be read as an indicator of poor quality.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 2 of the reported measures, with none rated worse than the national rate. Families considering rehabilitation options can use this profile as a starting point, and are encouraged to verify current details directly on Medicare Care Compare, which is the source of this data.
