About this facility
UPMC Chautauqua is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Jamestown, New York, in Chautauqua County. It has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 1990, and operates as a non-profit facility.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — for patients recovering from a stroke, surgery, or serious injury. Unlike a nursing home, which focuses on longer-term custodial care at a slower pace, an IRF is designed for patients who can tolerate and benefit from several hours of active therapy per day, with the goal of helping them regain function and return home as safely and quickly as possible.
CMS Care Compare publishes national comparisons for measures such as the rate at which patients are discharged to the community, potentially-preventable readmission rates (both during and after the rehab stay), and healthcare-associated infection rates (including catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff infections). For UPMC Chautauqua, these specific measures were not available in the data provided. CMS sometimes does not publish a measure when a facility has too few qualifying cases to report a reliable result; this is not an indication of poor quality.
Based on the available CMS data, UPMC Chautauqua shows 0 measures rated better than the national benchmark and 0 measures rated worse, indicating no measures with a directional comparison were reported for this facility at this time. Prospective patients and families are encouraged to consult CMS Care Compare directly for the most current details.
