About this facility
St Catherine's Rehabilitation Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in North Miami, Florida, in Miami-Dade County. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than moving to long-term care. St Catherine's is a non-profit facility that has been Medicare-certified since February 7, 1984.
According to CMS Care Compare, St Catherine's rate of discharging patients back to the community is worse than the national rate. Its rate of potentially-preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, is no different than the national rate. Its rate of C. diff healthcare-associated infections is also no different than the national benchmark. Catheter-associated infection data was not reported by CMS for this facility, which often happens due to low case counts and should not be read as an indicator of quality.
