About this facility
Providence Centralia Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Centralia, Lewis County, Washington. It has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 1985, and operates as a non-profit facility.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain strength and independence after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or a serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than moving to long-term custodial care.
CMS Care Compare tracks several plain-language quality measures for IRFs, including how often patients are discharged back to the community, rates of potentially preventable readmissions, and rates of healthcare-associated infections such as catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff. For Providence Centralia Hospital, none of these measures currently have published comparisons available in the data provided — CMS reports 0 measures as better than the national benchmark and 0 as worse, which typically reflects that data was not published for this facility, often due to low patient case counts rather than any indication of quality concerns.
Because no measures are reported here as better or worse than the national benchmark, families are encouraged to consult the CMS Care Compare website directly and to contact the facility for the most current information on outcomes, services, and admission before making a decision about rehabilitation care.
