About this facility
Regional Rehab Center At Hugh Chatham is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Elkin, Surry County, North Carolina. It has been Medicare-certified since October 1, 2009, and operates as a non-profit facility.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy for patients recovering from a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of helping them regain function and return home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a slower pace of custodial or long-term care rather than intensive daily therapy aimed at discharge to the community.
According to CMS Care Compare, several of the standard national quality measures for this facility — including the rate at which patients are discharged to the community, potentially-preventable readmission rates during and after the rehabilitation stay, and healthcare-associated infection rates for catheter-associated infections and C. diff — are not currently published for this facility. CMS often withholds publishing these measures when there are too few qualifying patient cases to report a reliable statistic; this is not an indicator of poor quality.
Based on the measures CMS has published for this facility, none are reported as performing better than the national benchmark, and none are reported as performing worse. Overall, CMS Care Compare does not currently report enough measures to provide a comparative quality picture for this facility. Families are encouraged to check Medicare Care Compare directly for the most current data and to contact the facility with specific questions.
