About this facility
St Marys Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in San Francisco, California, operated as a non-profit organization. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — often several hours of physical, occupational, or speech therapy per day — to help patients regain strength and function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a slower pace of custodial or long-term care rather than intensive rehabilitation.
According to CMS Care Compare, St Marys Medical Center has been Medicare-certified since July 1, 2005. On the measures CMS has published, the facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'No Different than the National Rate.' Its rates of potentially preventable readmissions, both during the rehabilitation stay and after discharge, are also reported as 'No Different than the National Rate.' CMS has not published data for healthcare-associated infections (catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. difficile) for this facility, which often occurs when case counts are too low to report reliably — this should not be read as an indicator of poor quality.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the benchmark on 0 of 5 measures, with the remaining measures showing no difference from the national rate. Families are encouraged to verify current details directly on CMS Care Compare.
