About this facility
Phelps Memorial Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Sleepy Hollow, New York, in Westchester County. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level therapy—often several hours a day of physical, occupational, and speech therapy—to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers lower-intensity, longer-term custodial care rather than intensive daily rehabilitation.
This facility is operated on a non-profit basis and has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 1986.
According to CMS Care Compare, Phelps Memorial Hospital's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Its rates of potentially-preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, are also no different than the national rate. Its healthcare-associated C. diff infection rate is no different than the national benchmark. CMS does not report a catheter-associated infection measure for this facility, which is often due to low case counts rather than an indication of quality concerns.
Overall, CMS rates this facility as performing no better and no worse than the national benchmark on the 5 measures it reports (0 better, 0 worse). This reflects performance in line with national averages across discharge-to-community, readmission, and infection measures.
