About this facility
Southern Tennessee Medical Ctr in Winchester, TN is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), certified since January 1, 2003. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than remaining in long-term care. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers a slower pace of custodial or lower-intensity rehabilitative care.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility discharges patients back to the community at a rate that is no different than the national rate. Its readmission measures — both the rate of potentially preventable readmissions during the rehab stay and after discharge — are also reported as no different than the national rate. Infection-related measures, including catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff infections, are not reported in the available data, which CMS notes often occurs due to low case counts rather than any indication of quality concerns.
Overall, CMS rates this facility as performing at the national benchmark on the measures it has reported, with 0 measures better than the national rate and 0 measures worse than the national rate. This facility is owned as a for-profit entity. Families considering rehabilitation options are encouraged to review the CMS Care Compare website directly for the most current information and to contact the facility with specific questions about services and admission.
