This facility has been Medicare-certified since September 1, 2005, and is operated as a for-profit organization.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility discharges patients to the community — meaning they return home rather than to another institution — at a rate that is better than the national rate, a positive sign for recovery outcomes. Its readmission rates, both during the rehabilitation stay and after discharge, are no different than the national rate, indicating typical performance in avoiding potentially preventable hospital returns. CMS reports its C. diff healthcare-associated infection rate as no different than the national benchmark. A catheter-associated infection rate was not detailed among the figures provided.
