About this facility
Scottsdale Healthcare is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Scottsdale, Maricopa County, Arizona. It has been Medicare-certified since October 1, 1984, and operates as a for-profit facility. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often 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 rather than requiring long-term custodial care.
According to CMS Care Compare, Scottsdale Healthcare's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Its potentially-preventable readmission rates — both after discharge and during the rehab stay — are also no different than the national rate. Its healthcare-associated infection rate for C. diff is no different than the national benchmark. CMS did not report a comparison for catheter-associated urinary tract infections for this facility, which often occurs when there are too few cases to calculate a reliable rate; this should not be read as an indicator of poor quality.
Overall, across the measures CMS was able to report, Scottsdale Healthcare performed in line with national benchmarks: it was rated better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures and worse on 0 of 5, meaning its results were comparable to typical national performance.
