Porter Adventist Hospital is a Medicare-certified, non-profit inpatient rehabilitation facility in Denver, Colorado, that provides intensive therapy to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury before returning home.

About this facility
Porter Adventist Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Denver, Colorado, operating under non-profit ownership. It has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 1996.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy—often several hours a day of physical, occupational, and speech therapy—for patients recovering from a stroke, surgery, or serious injury. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a lower intensity of daily therapy and is geared more toward long-term or custodial care.
According to CMS Care Compare, the source of this profile, several standard national comparison measures for this facility—including the rate at which patients are discharged to the community (return home), potentially-preventable readmission rates after discharge or during the stay, and healthcare-associated infection rates such as catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff—are not reported for Porter Adventist Hospital. CMS often does not publish these figures when a facility has too few qualifying cases to calculate a reliable rate; this does not indicate poor quality.
Because no measures are currently reported with a numeric comparison, CMS's plain-language summary shows this facility as better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 measures and worse than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 measures. Individuals considering rehabilitation here are encouraged to contact the facility directly or review the most current data on Medicare Care Compare.
