About this facility
Thedacare Regional Medical Center - Appleton Inc is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Appleton, Outagamie County, Wisconsin. It is operated as a non-profit facility and was Medicare-certified as of 10/01/2025.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain strength and independence after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a lower intensity of therapy over a longer stay.
CMS Care Compare tracks several quality measures for IRFs, including the rate at which patients are discharged to the community (return home), rates of potentially preventable readmissions, and rates of healthcare-associated infections such as catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff. For this facility, CMS's public data does not currently show published results for these measures. This is not evidence of poor quality — CMS often withholds a measure when the facility has too few qualifying cases to report a reliable rate, and this facility's recent certification date may be a factor.
Based on the available CMS Care Compare data, this facility has 0 measures rated better than the national benchmark and 0 measures rated worse, out of the measures CMS has published. Families considering this facility for post-stroke, post-surgical, or post-injury rehabilitation should contact the facility directly and check Medicare Care Compare for the most current measure data, as CMS periodically updates these reports.
