About this facility
West Virginia University Hospital Inc is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Morgantown, Monongalia County, West Virginia. It is operated as a non-profit facility and has been Medicare-certified since 06/05/2025.
An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than remaining in long-term custodial care, as a nursing home typically provides.
CMS Care Compare publishes several plain-language comparisons for IRFs, including how often 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 has not published figures for discharge to community, readmission after discharge, readmission during the stay, catheter-associated infections, or C. diff infections. This is often related to low case counts rather than an indication of poor quality.
Based on the measures CMS has published, this facility shows 0 measures rated better than the national benchmark and 0 measures rated worse than the national benchmark, reflecting that no comparative data has yet been reported for this facility.
