About this facility
Select Specialty Hospital Springfield, Inc is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Springfield, Greene County, Missouri. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning safely to the community. This differs from a nursing home, which generally provides longer-term custodial care at a lower intensity of therapy.
This facility is operated on a for-profit basis and has been Medicare-certified since November 1, 2022.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Its readmission rates — both during the rehab stay and after discharge — are also reported as no different than the national rate. Its rate of C. diff healthcare-associated infection is no different than the national benchmark. A catheter-associated infection measure was not reported by CMS, which can occur when there are too few cases to calculate a reliable rate; this does not indicate poor quality.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 measures — meaning its reported results are generally in line with national performance. Data reflects the most recent CMS Care Compare release; families are encouraged to review the source directly for the latest figures.
