About this facility
Roper Rehabilitation Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Charleston, South Carolina, certified since October 1, 1995. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level rehabilitation therapy—typically several hours a day—to help patients regain strength, mobility, and independence after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers lower-intensity, longer-term custodial care rather than intensive daily therapy.
According to CMS Care Compare, Roper Rehabilitation Hospital, a non-profit facility, performs 'Better than the National Rate' on the measure of discharging patients back to the community, meaning patients here are more likely than the national average to return home after their rehabilitation stay. The facility also performs 'Better than the National Rate' on both measures of potentially-preventable readmissions—during the rehab stay and following discharge. On healthcare-associated infections, the facility is rated 'No Different than the National Benchmark' for both catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff infections, indicating performance in line with national norms.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 3 of 5 reported measures, with no measures rated worse than the national benchmark.
