About this facility
Staten Island University Hosp is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Staten Island, NY, in Richmond County. It has been Medicare-certified since January 8, 2018 and operates under non-profit ownership. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — often several hours a day of physical, occupational, and speech therapy along with medical supervision — to help patients regain function after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a lower, longer-term level of therapy and medical care rather than intensive short-term rehabilitation aimed at returning home.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Staten Island University Hosp'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. Among healthcare-associated infection measures, the C. diff infection rate is no different than the national benchmark; a catheter-associated urinary tract infection measure was not reported by CMS for this facility, which often occurs due to low case counts rather than any quality concern.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures and worse on 0 of 5, meaning its reported measures fall in line with national averages. This information is sourced from CMS Care Compare and reflects the most recently published data vintage.
