About this facility
Vcuhs is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Richmond, Virginia, in Richmond City county, operated under government ownership. An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often several hours a day of physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain strength and independence after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers lower-intensity, longer-term custodial care.
Vcuhs has been Medicare-certified since July 1, 1984, indicating a long-standing participation in the Medicare program.
According to CMS Care Compare, the federal source for these comparisons, several key quality measures for this facility — including the rate at which patients are discharged to the community, potentially-preventable readmission rates during and after the stay, and healthcare-associated infection rates for catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. difficile — are not currently published for this facility. CMS often withholds a measure when there are too few qualifying cases to report a reliable rate; this is not an indication of poor quality.
Based on the measures CMS did report, the facility was rated as better than the national benchmark on 0 of the reported measures and worse than the national benchmark on 0 of the reported measures. Families considering rehabilitation after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury are encouraged to review the most current data directly on CMS Care Compare and to contact the facility for further details.
