Context that affects how to read this rating

Brookdale Hospital Medical Center is an Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) — a specialized post-acute facility focused on patient functional recovery after stroke, brain or spinal cord injury, joint replacement, amputation, or other major medical events. IRFs do not receive a CMS Overall Hospital Star Rating because they are evaluated under the separate IRF Quality Reporting Program (IRF QRP). Headline IRF outcomes include the percentage of patients discharged home (vs. nursing facility), risk-adjusted functional improvement, preventable readmissions during and after the stay, and hospital-acquired infection rates.

Rehabilitation Quality Measures (IRF QRP)

Brookdale Hospital Medical Center is evaluated under the CMS Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Quality Reporting Program. The most consequential outcomes for rehabilitation patients are whether they return home (vs. a nursing facility) and how much functional independence they regain. Values are compared to the national median across all reporting IRFs.

Discharge to Community 63.5%
National median: 67.6% n = 42 Worse than national median

Risk-standardized % of stays that ended at home (vs. skilled nursing, hospice, or another inpatient setting). Higher is better — it means more patients regained the independence to live at home.

Preventable Readmissions Within Stay 4.84%
National median: 4.69% n = 2 Near national median

Risk-standardized % of IRF stays that transferred back to acute care for a preventable reason during the stay. Lower is better.

Preventable Readmissions Post-Discharge (30 days) 9.53%
National median: 9.16% n = 4 Near national median

Risk-standardized % of IRF stays followed by a preventable readmission to acute care within 30 days. Lower is better.

Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary 1.01
National median: 0.99 Near national median

Ratio of this IRF's Medicare spending per beneficiary to the national average. 1.00 = matches national average. Lower = more efficient.

About this data

Quality and ratings data are sourced from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare program. Star ratings are CMS's own calculation; CareRanks does not modify or re-weight them. Facility-level details (address, beds, ownership, teaching status) come from CMS provider files and the CMS Provider of Services file.

Pricing data, where shown, is drawn from the hospital's own Machine-Readable File (MRF) published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. See our methodology for the full update cadence and limitations.
