An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level rehabilitation therapy for patients recovering from events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of helping patients regain physical function and independence before returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers lower-intensity, longer-term custodial or supportive care rather than intensive, short-term rehabilitation.
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 unplanned readmissions during the rehabilitation stay, and its readmission rate after discharge, are both reported as no different than the national rate. Its rate of C. diff healthcare-associated infections is also no different than the national benchmark. Catheter-associated infection data was not specifically detailed here.
Overall, of the measures CMS reports for this facility, none were rated better than the national benchmark, and one measure — the discharge-to-community rate — was rated worse than the national rate; the remaining reported measures showed no difference from national rates.
