About this facility
Rehabilitation Hospital Of Northern Arizona is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Flagstaff, Arizona, serving Coconino County. It has been Medicare-certified since April 12, 2018, and operates as a for-profit facility. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — including 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 a slower pace of custodial or lower-intensity rehabilitative care.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility discharges patients to the community — meaning patients return home — at a rate that is better than the national rate, a favorable sign for recovery outcomes. Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions, both after discharge and during the rehab stay, is no different than the national rate. Its rate of C. diff healthcare-associated infections is also no different than the national benchmark. A measure for catheter-associated urinary tract infections was not reported by CMS for this facility, which often reflects low case counts rather than a quality concern.
Taken together, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 1 of 5 reported measures, with the remaining reported measures showing no difference from national rates and none rated worse. This information is sourced from CMS Care Compare and reflects the most recently published data vintage available for this facility.
