About this facility
Union Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Terre Haute, Indiana, operated as a non-profit organization and certified by Medicare since September 1, 1989. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function and independence after events like a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than remaining in long-term care.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Union Hospital's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, is also no different than the national rate. Its healthcare-associated Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infection rate is no different than the national benchmark. CMS did not report a comparison for the catheter-associated urinary tract infection measure for this facility, which is common when case counts are too low to calculate a reliable rate; this should not be interpreted as a sign of poor quality.
Overall, CMS rates Union Hospital as performing on par with national benchmarks on the reported measures — 0 measures better than the national rate and 0 measures worse than the national rate. Families considering rehabilitation after a serious health event may find this a useful starting point, alongside a direct conversation with the facility. This summary reflects data published on CMS Care Compare.
