About this facility
Stephens County Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Toccoa, Georgia, operated as a government-owned facility. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities 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. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers a lower intensity of daily therapy over a longer stay.
Stephens County Hospital has been Medicare-certified as an IRF since October 1, 2021. According to CMS Care Compare, the source of this profile, CMS's plain-language national comparisons for measures such as discharge to community, potentially-preventable readmissions, and healthcare-associated infections (catheter-associated urinary tract infection and C. diff) are not currently published for this facility. This is often the result of low patient case counts required for statistically reliable reporting, and does not indicate poor quality of care.
Based on available CMS data, this facility shows 0 measures rated better than the national benchmark and 0 measures rated worse, out of the measures CMS is able to report. Families considering this facility for post-acute rehabilitation should contact the facility directly and review the latest information on Medicare Care Compare, as CMS updates these figures periodically and additional measures may become available over time.
