About this facility
Select Specialty Hospital Madison is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function and independence after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a standard nursing home, which typically offers a lower, non-intensive level of care over a longer period.
The facility is operated as a for-profit organization and was certified by Medicare as of 01/14/2025, according to CMS Care Compare data.
CMS reports several plain-language comparisons for inpatient rehabilitation facilities nationally, covering how often patients are discharged to the community, potentially-preventable readmission rates, and healthcare-associated infection rates. For Select Specialty Hospital Madison, none of these measures currently have published comparison data on CMS Care Compare — CMS lists the facility as having 0 measures rated better than the national benchmark and 0 measures rated worse. This does not indicate poor performance; CMS often withholds a rating when there are too few qualifying cases to calculate a reliable statistic, particularly for a facility with a relatively recent certification date.
Overall, based on currently published CMS Care Compare data, no comparative quality measures are available for this facility. Individuals considering rehabilitation here are encouraged to check Medicare Care Compare directly for the most current information, as CMS updates these figures periodically.
