About this facility
St Vincent'S Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Bridgeport, Fairfield County, Connecticut. It has been Medicare-certified since October 1, 1999, and operates as a non-profit facility. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain strength and independence after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than requiring long-term custodial care as in a nursing home.
According to CMS Care Compare, this facility's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'no different than the national rate.' Its potentially-preventable readmission rates, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, are also 'no different than the national rate.' Its healthcare-associated C. diff infection rate is 'no different than the national benchmark.' A catheter-associated infection measure was not specified in the available data, so no comparison can be reported for it — this does not indicate poor quality, and may reflect low case counts or non-reporting.
Overall, CMS reports this facility as performing at the national benchmark level, with 0 of the reported measures rated better than the national rate and 0 rated worse. This means the facility's outcomes on discharge to community, readmissions, and infections are statistically comparable to national averages. Families are encouraged to review the most current data directly on CMS Care Compare, as figures are updated periodically.
