About this facility
Ukhs-St. Francis Campus is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas. It has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 2004, and is operated as a non-profit facility. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level rehabilitation therapy for patients recovering from a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of helping them regain function and return home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a slower pace of custodial or lower-intensity care rather than intensive daily therapy.

The facility's readmission measures — both readmission during the rehab stay and readmission after discharge — are also reported as 'No Different than the National Rate.' CMS does not report healthcare-associated infection data (catheter-associated infections or C. diff) for this facility in the available data, which may reflect low case counts rather than a quality concern.
